Hi gang:

As some of you know for work reasons I've been missing quite a few of these meetups (And the build-up of philosophical angst I have is killing me :).

To help make sure this thing continues to run smoothly, I've asked Dale and Pete, two of our regulars, to be assistant organizers for the meetup. What does this mean? It means they will both now be mad with power and stage a meetup coup shortly ("Et tu Dale?"). Please bow your head when greeting them to placate them, and keep them from taking over too soon.

More seriously, this means they can take care of things when I'm not around, and help keep things running smoothly for everyone else. Just wanted to let everybody know. Please continue with your regularly scheduled philosophizing.

Cheers,

-Scott
