Please let me know.

Thanks!

At 1:13pm on October 23, 2009, Admin said…: Hi Chris - hmmmm....thought I sent you an email on Nicks response. He's ok with you paying what you can (even if it's $0)

I won't be at the event (when you set up events on this site you are a "default" participant) - but HAVE FUN! We'll run into each other sometime soon!
