It probably has no useful content. Feel free to skip. If there is, it won't be run by me. You guys are being handed a great event on a platter, and if those of you who made it to VA can't get off your asses and take an 8 hour bus ride (the distance from Fairfax, VA to Troy, MI), I'm not willing to put in the huge amount of effort to set something up. I have to *fly* there, FFS; why should I put in the effort to set it up when people aren't willing to put in a tiny portion of the effort I have to go to just to *get there*? -Robin On Wed, Jan 17, 2007 at 12:16:47PM -0500, Matt Arnold wrote: > Some people have expressed confusion about whether jbonunsla was > going to happen at Penguicon three months from now.
