A good chat, held in the locker room, of all places! Standing room only crowd. Howard started by doing his assessment of the line up for this season. The usual "who might be here" under what scenario, etc. He gives the off season moves an "A" grade. He has been trying to convince McFarland that Filitov should be here if he does not make the Jackets.
On to building improvements....still fighting that, talk of doing a march next week..details to follow.
He talked about Konopka not returning and the discussions during that time...all of which we had read prior.
Marketing....some killer give aways promised, but would not elaborate. Trying to land a "star" for opening night, but more of a Kids star, like someone from High School Musical. Mirasty possibly at the Time Warner building at the State Fair Sunday.
About it, a nice session, lots of questions, none unusual....oh, and someone painted all the doors purple, which was the running joke of the evening.
And...trying to plan a meet and greet before the season starts.
If anyone was there and remembers anything I missed, please add!
