You have been missed around here. I'm glad to see you are okay.

Thanks guys! I am still alive and kicking. Trying to get this "producer" thing under control. I think producers make even less than VJs, har har.

vBrooklyn went great! Complicated room involving video servers, but great live performances and even a "legit" documentary by the Manhattan historian (mayor's office type person).

I'll get pics up soon!

[RayV]

Good to hear it went well
Respect.
History huh?

[Scratchpole]

Wow great line-up, looking forward to the pics.

I thought you had done a Captain Oates on us!
