[Robotgroup] dorkbot - austin / SxSW event

[Def Egge]

The dorkbot- austin / SxSW event certainly seemed to be a 
success.  It was nice to see a lot of old friends (including Sharon 
Sudduth, EFF-Austin's Bon Davis, and Make Magazine's Sherry Huss and 
Dale Dougherty) and to make some new ones.

Congratulations to one and all.  For The Robot Group's official 
presence at this event, I would like to thank (in addition to Vern 
Graner):

Kym Graner, Nic Graner, Rick Abbott, Paul Atkinson, and Denise Scioli 
for bearing the brunt of the load-outs!

Kym, Nic, and Sami Graner, Eric and Catherine Lundquist, Miranda 
Duran, Rick + Diane and Whitney Abbott, Denise Scioli, Paul Atkinson, 
James Delaney and Nyssa Hughes, Eric Ulteig, Wolf Dilworth, Tom 
Davidson, and Gray Mack for help with the setup, manning of the 
booths, and the teardown.

Rick + Diane and Whitney Abbott, Paul Atkinson, and Eric Ulteig for 
the unload at Vern's place.

My humblest apologies to anyone whose presence was missed or 
forgotten.  I have deliberately left out the following separatist 
exhibitors / performers / friends of The Robot Group:

Bob, David, and Teresa Comer, John "Cosmic" Funk, Edwin Wise, and 
Marvin "Professor Conrad" Niebuhr + helper.

Great job, David and Nick.  No one had to eat a bullet or to have his 
ass kicked.  ;-)

All the best....
