We'll fight them on the Beaches!
...unfortunately I won't be able to make it. Seminars like these are always so cool. You should write up and post a synopsis afterward, as I am sure the discussions will be very interesting.
Better yet, get video! ;)

I literally just turned down a chance to go to NY that week. I also missed Eric Nakamura lecturing at my school a few months back. Rats.
Great! CDX Guru is at the helm!
Aiight, well, it looks like I'll be able to make this afterall! I'm on "vacation" during the week, so I may be able to head to NY with a buddy to check this out! Be there and look for me. Oddly enough, I look like the brown guy in my avatar image to the left! :P
