I vote no internet access. If there were real men in this group and we
did this at a bar (not a coffee or tapas bar, Jeffrey) we sure as s--t
wouldn't fart around with laptops. But who's gonna proctor that Jim
character?

	Thanks Mark.
	 
	I've got one issue to raise related to draft day logistics.
	 
	I've always been uncomfortable with the notion that some people
would have internet access during a draft while others don't.  It seems
to me that we should discourage people from having internet access
during the draft.  How do others feel about this?  If the consensus is
that it's not a problem, I'll certainly come prepared to tap into the
network, on the other hand, I think that the better approach is not to
do so.
	 
	What say the league on this one?

	Gang: 

	  Here is the information for draft day 2008. 

	When:   Saturday, March 15, at 8:00 a.m. (sharp) 

	Where:  Sidley Austin LLP, One South Dearborn Street, Chicago
(38th floor) 

	How to get in:  Each league owner is listed on the guest list
for this Saturday.  When you arrive, you will need to present a drivers
license or state ID, so please bring one of those.  After your ID is
verified, you will be issued a badge that will allow you to go through
the security lanes to get to the elevators.  Take the elevator to the
38th floor.  When you get off of the elevator, turn west (away from the
lake) and go through the silver door (which will be ajar).  The draft
room (38W15) is right behind those doors.

	Food/beverage:  Two simple rules.  First, absolutely no alcohol.
Second, bring any food you want to consumer during the draft.  I do not
believe there are vending machines that are easily accessed, so please
bring stuff.  

	Lunch:  The draft will certainly go through lunch.  I would
recommend bringing something for lunch so that we can avoid slowing down
the draft.

	Computer/internet:  The draft room has loads of computer and
internet facilities.  I believe there is a wired port available in front
of each chair (along with electrical outlets), so feel free to bring
computers (and you can have internet access).

	Call-in information:  Jim, the number is 312-507-0446. 

	IMPORTANT POST-DRAFT:  After the draft, please submit a piece of
paper that shows (a) your drafted roster, with a star next to the names
of players that were retained pre-draft, and for each player, their
current position and salary; (b) a list of players acquired in the
rotation draft, along with the following information: MLB team or other
affiliation, position, and salary; and (c) a list of any week 1 roster
moves.

	How to reach me:  If you need to reach me on or before draft
day, either e-mail me at Sidley or call me on my cell at 847-571-4114.
