Folks,

I won't be there for the dinner, but I have a suggestion. I recall many
years ago there was a restaurant near the Columbus airport decorated in the
motif of a WWI aerodrome. The name was the 'Something' Aerosquadron. The
food was pretty good and the atmosphere was pretty neat. IIRC, the
restaurant was at the end of one of the runways and one whole side of the
building were windows looking our over the airport.

And even more regrettable for 2005 is that most likely the NHL will be dark
this whole season, therefore creating NO scheduling conflicts for the
downtown arena, nor any real logistics problem for the building owner to
sanitize the arena and remove all TV-visible references to professional
sports.

Of course, the NC$$ deferred to the Value City venue as it is the home rink
of the host institution.

Here's a thought: what about the Hockey-L dinner being catered in the old
OSU rink, close by the football stadium there and not too far from the Value
City ?  (390 Woody Hayes Dr.), look it up !
