Steve....
Don't know what part of the country you are coming from, but you will
probably want to fly into San Francisco International or San Jose
International (San Jose is 13 miles from Los Gatos).
The Los Gatos Lodge - Tel: 408-356-9191, Fax - 356-7502. I honestly don't
remember what the rate was last year, but, as I recall, it was reasonable
and extremely comfortable.
Tickets will scale about average for any Doobie Show....best part of the 3
nights, is all the convention attendees sit together in an incredibly
beautiful outdoor amphitheatre....so, multiply by 3, an average Doobie
concert.
Add it all up and start to save, beg, borrow, don't steal....you won't wanna
miss it. Out of the previous conventions (Laughlin, Atlantic City, Las
Vegas) Saratoga last year, was probably the absolute best.
C ya there

Laurin or other members who attended last years convention: give us virgins
an idea of total costs so we can start saving our pennies and calling in
past due loans. I would love to attend, but need an idea of how big a
second mortgage I need to take out LOL.
Who for President? Is there anyone but LW? Laurin has my vote!!!
