Subject: [USML Announce] Sunday Morning On My Mind: Logistics

Dear Jeffrey:
  As the time grows nigh, I want to ensure that everyone, particularly me, is comfortable in the surroundings you have so graciously offered us.  Accordingly, I have some questions:
   1.  Will we have to sign in? If so, is identification required?  

Yes and Yes.  Though you'll find the process far less intimidating than the gauntlet we were forced to run to get into Sidley's offices.  Also, I don't think they update their security records regularly, so the solicitation charges shouldn't yet show up when they look you up.  I don't think you'll have a problem getting in.


   2.  Does your office have a Diet Coke vending machine or any supply of the beverage chilling in a refrigerator?  If so, what is the cost, if any?

No vending machine.  Just a healthy supply of cans in the refrigerator.  Beverages will be provided for free to everyone but you.  Your cost is being determined, but it won't be cheap.

   3.  You mentioned that the conference room is modest compared to the cavernous environs we've grown accustomed to at Sidley.
        A. Just how modest?

	In comparison to Sidley.....VERY
	In the realms that you and I are accustomed to....Not modest at all.  I think you'll find the accommodations acceptable.
 
        B. Will there be adequate space for my Shandler, Baseball Prospectus, Baseball America Prospects 2011 books, a small calculator, spreadsheet, beverage and snack of my choice?

	Only if you share.  And I'd recommend you arrive early if you want a good seat.  The far end of the table is already spoken for.  I'd recommend you take the opposite end.

        C. I may have failed to mention to you that I have been diagnosed with EDAS (electronic device auto-immune deficiency), a condition that causes acute emotional distress and other physical problems if I am within ten feet or so of an activated laptop.  Please advise how you will accomodate my serious health condition.

	In light of your EDAS condition, I can more easily address the concern you raised in the previous question since you'll have all the room you need sitting on the floor in the reception area.

        D. To avoid a "race to the office" scenario, especially since you're likely to arrive an hour late anyway, I propose assigned seating, perhaps in the order of last year's standings--with you at the head of the table, of course. That would also hasten the pace of the rotation draft. I think it's rude and vulgar when certain unnamed owners arrive hours ahead of everyone else and spread their paperwork all over the place in a transparent effort to acquire more space than they possibly could use. That said, I expect to be downtown Saturday, so if you don't mind I'll stop by your office then and get situated.

It appears I should have read through your entire email before responding.  Upon reflection, I'll be assigning seats.  You placard will be taped the floor of reception.  Be careful not to trip on it when walking in.

    4. Please prepare name placards. I'm getting a bit forgetful these days and need to make absolutely sure I know which of you is Blocker.

Andy assures me he has this covered.   He will be bringing one of those big hands they sell to kids at the ballpark.  He'll be using it to point to Mr. Blocker at regular intervals during the auction.

Thanks, my good friend.
--Brad
