One thing I would say about NYE and closing the roof. If we do indeed
close the roof it's fair that we vote on it early and let residence know
with plenty of time to make other arrangements for NYE. It's hard to
find somewhere nice to go close to NYE. I think we need to start telling
people in early November to be fair.
