<p>Hello folks. In the past, many times the e-Trademarks reception
has been either the Sunday evening or the Monday evening. And
then the other constraint was to pick which ever of those evenings
was not the same as Meet the Bloggers.</p>
<p>We we just saw is that apparently there will not be a Meet the
Bloggers this year at INTA. The next Meet the Bloggers will
apparently be in 2025.</p>
<p>That leaves us open to have our choice of the Sunday or the
Monday. My preference being the Sunday evening, just like Thilo.<br>
</p>
<p>But very loyal and long-time listserv member Maria Crimi
Speth did some leg work and she found a venue that would be
available on Tuesday during happy hour. Thank you Maria for
finding this option.<br>
</p>
<p>You can tell from what I am writing here that I am leaning toward
the Sunday evening time slot.</p>
<p>Of course as a general matter if you were to contact any of a
dozen hotels (which I just got done doing), the usual news is that
every event space in just about every hotel in Atlanta is already
booked. And just about every event space in a bar or restaurant
is already booked. But against all odds I found one hotel that
has one event space available on Sunday evening. The Hyatt
Regency. Yes, the very first ever Hyatt Recency, designed by John
Portman. The Portman 22-story atrium design, opened to the public
in 1967, was revolutionary for its time.</p>
<p>This event space that is available on Sunday evening is not,
however revolutionary in any way. It is a boring space in the
bowels of the hotel. But no matter how boring it is, our listserv
members would make the space exciting.</p>
<p>What preferences do listserv members have as between the two time
slots? Sunday evening (probably 6-9 PM or ), or Tuesday happy
hour time?</p>
