Ya know, Dustin, you make some excellent points here and your comment about making new friends in the area is perhaps the best. That is how I see this whole Demo Day thing too... just all of us coming together in one big group. That's all. Nothing more and nothing less. Handing stuff out and talking to people about my favorite OS is all I am concerned with. I think after we do this thing on Thursday all of us should try and have some sort of a party thing in the next few months. I suggest we call it a "Geek Together"! :) Just something to meet the other folks in the other groups and we can all get together and tell tall tales and other assorted sillyness. Something to think about....
