Ok, I have a severe air borne allergy to tree nuts, and tree fruits.

I can't eat anything with pectin, so any thing with jams or jellies are out,
as is Starbucks, which cooks it beans with pectin.    I also am effected by
heavy fruit based perfumes.    I can not eat any thing with fruit, tree
nuts, or

It is hard to explain to people that I have air borne allergies when I am
also loosing the ability to breath.  It is not so much a freak out as a 'oh
shit, I can no longer breath out'.   So I apologize if you felt I was being
rude, but please understand, I was having a very hard time breathing.

I only wanted to take another look at the location for registration, and
look at where the fan tables and tables for other conventions would be for
Pi-con.   If someone would be so kind as to take a picture of where the
Pi-con table will be and email it to me I will skip the meeting.

For those of you who do not know me, I am a short red haired, green eyed
townie (think thick Boston accent) with glasses.  I like the Red Sox, and
can't get the trophy for the convention. But I can for my developmentally
disabled day care center in Revere.
