To all folks planning to attend: the number of available rooms at the convention HQ, the Holiday Inn in Salisbury, NC, has now dwindled to the point that I am compelled to pass along overflow information to you.

Below is the contact info for two establishments very close by offering special rates for the convention. So, if you cannot get into the HI, try one of these.

Hampton Inn: $69.00 + tax

Ah, you put butter and sugar on them. That is the way I like grits.

Butter, lots of pepper, and a soft egg yoke from one of your over easy eggs does the trick. Up here in the great PNW I miss the cuisine of Texas, which includes BBQ and Tex Mex.
