unofficial slide workshop/crit, etc update

All,

I've got back some responses that using the projectors that NCECA rents from
the hotel and one of the rooms wouldn't be possible. So we move to plan B.

Plan B: If Joe, Richard and especially mel would let us use the Clayart room
for an evening and if some locals would bring their projectors and a screen
or two, we could still do this.

Louis Katz, Ron Roy and a few others expressed interest in this so maybe it
could happen.

How do you time the slides? It'll be dark so you can't use a second hand.
Maybe a very slow metronome?

Plan C: We do it in my hotel room (with Carla's permission.)
