Hi guys and gals,
The GCA portfolio showcase will be this Wednesday evening at the incubator. I would love to see as many of your cool projects on display as possible. Please let me know if you guys need any special space requirements. I will be cleaning up the garage this evening so you can start setting up anything you would like.
Registration (free) for the event can be found here http://spring2010showcase.eventbrite.com/
Thanks,
