ACES Executive Committee in town this weekend

The American Copy Editors Society executive committee is meeting in Minneapolis on Friday and Saturday. I am going to go over to the Hilton Saturday morning to talk with them about the upcoming convention next year. If you are free, you are definitely welcome. Tentative plans call for a 10:30 a.m. meeting.

Also, after comparing pricing lists and downtown bars, I have tentatively booked a private room at Gluek's (right near the Target Center and the end of the light rail line) for the ACES after-party. The fact that it offers its room for free made it very attractive, compared with the thousands of dollars asked for by Brit's, (to name one place). I believe the committee members will be checking it out before we finalize plans.

Perhaps it would be worth a meeting sometime soon after the meeting with the ACES board. Would a post-election, pre-holiday meeting on some Saturday morning in November work?

Has a gathering place at the Hilton been decided?

I can't attend Friday, but I'm up for a post-group meeting before the holidays.
