Let's plan for Wednesday the 21st at 6pm in OpenSpace. Looking forward to it!
In re: beCamp - I just realized this last week that my son's baptism
is that weekend in Atlanta. I'd had the wrong date on my calendar.
Can't hardly talk about it more. Too bummed out.

What about the week after next? I've already got CVReg in Richmond Monday,

Are you going to becamp? This would be a good topic.
