Good.  The Chairman liked the idea too.  Thank you.  The ability to hear what 
the Music Guest sounds like before-hand will even be a first for some regular 
attendees.

If you mean like what games will be played in Gaming, what the schedule will be 
in the Video Room, and what the programming will be; I really don't think I can 
do that.  I might be able to put out some updates.  Programming is usually 
making whiteboard notices of changes during the Con.  When I ran the Video Room 
I was up the night before Con typing up my schedule to have printed on the way 
to the Con.  I would like to provide specifics, I just don't think it's 
possible.  I could put up some kind of rumor page of what info I suspect, but 
I'm afraid some might take it seriously and make plans around it.  It's bad 
enough when the "definate"'s change.  

Some one was about to buy their plane tickets just to see Philip Jos� Farmer at 
CopperCon 2000 before we caught them to let them know he had cancelled.  

Can we go on to the next suggestion after that for the time being?  Later, I 
will approach them.
