I’m in Silver Spring MD and definitely thinking about going. I need to juggle some things, but it looks like it’ll be a lot of fun and very useful.

Oh this pleases me immensely. Anyone from the DC/Maryland area that already knows that they are planning on attending?

I’m willing to help out in any way that I can.

Thank you, Derric Atzrott
