Hi all, *HOW TO GET TOGETHER AT INTEREX* *Jim Wowchuk* calls the shot. I'm enclosing 2 of 9 emails i got in response to my suggestion that i wear an Angles baseball cap to the Interx lunches so us HP Netizines can rondevous and put a face on the name. (and jim needs all the face connections he can make being from DownUnder, ie can't see us US'ers as much as he might like) this *will work* and be Waaay-Cool. i was not excited bout bringing attention to myself by wearing a cap in-doors, but.... if we all do it we are *a power*. we gain recognition and might in the long-run augment the INTEREX advocacy group as a visible power for change. OH NO, that was an ac*&^% flash back, i lapsed back into my hippie street activist days. we are not looking for power here, just to rub elbows. So.... read the enclosed Emails below and: *WEAR ANY CAP AT ANY LUNCH* and we'll recognize each other. reminds me of the stories in the bible bout christians (read catholics) drawing the fish sign in the sand for recognition. also, if we really get into this, we can wear caps the whole time. next year we can have identical caps made up ahead of time. my suggestion for the text on the cap (we have a year to debate this) is: HP3K's Kick Ass (i sure i'm i can get HP to pay for those caps). *SO UNLESS SOMEONE COMES UP WITH A BETTER IDEA IN 10 DAYS*: *THE ABOVE IS THE PLAN*. The reason for the "any hat suggestion" is because this is this an international conference and not all countries have baseball teams.... ___________ HERE ARE THE EMAIL' I'M ENCLOSING ___________________ At 02:09 AM 26/7/95 GMT, Jerry Bostick wrote: >*i got it*. > >unless someone comes up with another idea, (i'm not really >excited bout doin this, but..) in honor of how well my baseball >team is doing (the fabo LA Angles) i'll wear one of my Angle's >caps at each lunch (Tues/Thur) and i'll try to be early in the Hey, why not have everyone bring their favourite hat? As you say, its unusual enough for a single person to be wearing a cap indoors at lunch, but a whole crowd...who could miss it? Call it "The Mad-cap 'Netters Lunch"? And a light cap is easy enough to stick in your Interex showbag each day. Perhaps those doing booth duty, with out the need to lug 1,001 things may care to bring a more glamourous chappeau! :) ---- Jim "seMPEr" Wowchuk Internet: [log in to unmask] Vanguard Computer Services Compu$erve: 100036,106 _--_|\ Post: PO Box 18, North Ryde, NSW 2113 / \ Phone: +61 (2) 888-9688 \.--.__/ <---Sydney NSW Fax: +61 (2) 888-3056 v Australia From: Rich Trapp <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: HOW to get together @ INTEREX X-To: [log in to unmask] (Jerry Bostick) Date: Wed, 26 Jul 95 21:31:38 MDT Cc: [log in to unmask] (HP3000 Discussion Group) X-Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85] X-UIDL: 806892767.001 How 'bout we all wear our favorite BaseBall hats?
