There is one good reason to come to these things. Not to go to their rallies and politcal meetings...But to meet fellow civilized Assyrians. We often said that what would really be good there is to have a large room with comfortable seating, low lighting...some snacks...very soft music...and the chance to just mingle and talk, talk, talk. It's what everyone likes to do anyway...away from the amps and the humping music and jiggling body parts.
As it was we would shout at each other trying to converse in the rubber chicken hall as the bands screamed at us...usually finding ourselves gathered in small groups later on when we got hoarse, early in the morning, in the hotel lobby or down some hallway happily chatting away.
These things could be a chance to just share ideas...ad hoc, with no formal structure. And for comic relief everyone should attend the delegates meeting for at least an hour. You wont be disappointed, even as you leave weeping.
