>Hey,

>It looks like I will be coming over to Astricon in October, which I'm
>excited about, especially meeting any of you who will be coming. For
>those who haven't met the Digium people, they're a lot of fun and
>you'll learn about the whole side of things you haven't seen.

>For those who are able to bring spouses (I am not, it's too far and
>she's busy speaking in Paris) I think this is a great idea but we need
>to organize it. Someone needs to help coordinate this widows thing. I
>think the gilrs will have fun and I'd love to meet them. I'm sure
>they'll enjoy seeing the people you guys talk to weekly and realizing
>that we really are human in spite of all appearances.

>I'd also like to throw out an idea regarding music. Who plays
>instruments among you?  We have to have a big jam session one night
>(and maybe Karaoke as well), some kind of musical event. Since I can't
>bring a guitar and amp with me from France, and most of you won't be
>able to eaither, I'd suggest we try to recruit a young band from
>Phoenix and ask them to allow us to sit in after their set.

>Anyone ready to second this?

>Best,
