Well here it is; A lot of you knew it was coming, but now that the web site is up and running, we can let out the press release. This is the 14th year for our annual show and I think it's a good one.
The requests for door prizes just went out a couple of days ago and we already have about 25 or so.
The primary presentations are finalized but we still need several more 5 minute shorts. We won't make the final decision on them until the end of January.
Press release below. Ian
