Ock, I'm with you. Darn it, that same day I am scheduled to hell and gone. Blast it.

[tufsu1]

I will be there

[thelakelander]

This sucks.  I'll be in Cleveland.

[Charles Hunter]

I think it's clear the DOT and Regional Council checked your schedules when setting this thing up! 

Always seems to happen to me, too - something comes up I want to attend, and I'm already scheduled for something else.

[tufsu1]

Don't worry...I doubt there will be anything much different from the TOD workshop the local APA section and the City held last year

[thelakelander]

Don't worry, I'm not crying or losing any sleep over it.  I'm sure I'll find something to occupy my time in the big Mistake by the Lake.

I disagree lindab....there are several folks on this agenda who are pretty creative...and good transportation plannerd....plus there is a 90 mminute brainstorming session.

[Charles Hunter]

And even if it is very similar to the TOD meetings held earlier, maybe everyone didn't get a chance to go, and repeating information doesn't hurt.

[thelakelander]

It never hurts to keeping hitting people in the head with good information over and over again.  After a while, even the most stubborn can be converted with sound logic.
