Hi there!
A few of us talked the situation over, and there's definitely some good opportunities for learning here and I should be there early to help out. Out of respect for the other members, we wouldn't just want to play mine craft the whole time, but we can definitely help get him on the right track. Also, another member I know has done this quite extensively and could jump in.
We can even do one better to show him how to install a mod that lets you script using either ruby or javascript.
Looking forward to it
Joel

Can Isaac come early on the 15th and get some help with downloading mod's to his new laptop that runs Windows 8 for minecraft? It's like a foreign monster I don't want to know.
