Vern,

Don't take it personally, and don't be 
discouraged.  As seemingly-chaotic as these 
SxSW-related events are, the EFF-Austin and 
dorkbot organizers are friends to The Robot Group.

Mind you, I wouldn't mind seeing the black heart 
of SxSW itself cut out with a pickaxe, tossed 
(bleeding and still beating) into a lead casket, 
which was, in turn, dropped from high altitude 
into the swirling molten maelstrom of a 
convenient volcanic crater ... but I digress.

We will have a good time, visit with old friends, 
entertain a lot of folks, gain a load of new 
members, outlive all of our enemies, and wizz on their graves.


All the best....

Mike
