    Hey, folks - I hate to say it, but it doesn't seem like a Play event for LibLearnX is going to come together in time as I'd hoped.  My apologies - it's something we can aim for next time, though!

    Hey Thomas,

    I'd be willing to pick up this torch. I was talking with GNCRT- they were hoping to have a social event during LLX as well. If we combine forces (and budgets) we might be able to pull something together. I'm going to ask Tina about what kinds of reservations we have access to  for rooms, shuttles, catering, etc.

    I think that would be wonderful.  It really is an opportunity for partnering up.  Thanks for taking it on!
