Just curious. Avery </BLOCKQUOTE> I don't want to go into all the details, because I might get some of them wrong. But basically, they booked another convention on top of ours. (Actually, a group that was there decided to stay, and paid the hotel BIG bucks to change things around). The hotel broke the contract we had with them, which, among things, caused our piano movers to work twice as hard, as Les attested to. With them breaking our contract, we felt we have a right to reconsider the contract we have in Dallas. But that will have to wait to be seen. Wim </HTML>
