Re: [Gmod-tripal] Update to Tripal Events with PAG

[Meg S. <me...@gm...>]

Hi,
A quick update for PAG - Town and Country has moved our room for the
hackathon and user group meeting. It is now Garden Salon I (not Esquire as
previously emailed).  Hotel map
<http://www.mobilemaplets.com/showplace/3170> - Garden Salon I is way over
the right near Charlies, the restaurant.

Thanks,
Meg
