[Robotgroup] dorkbot - austin / SxSW event

[john at cozmicfunk.com]

Thank you everyone!
I introduced some friends to the RG last night (amidst the ruckus) and 
in true fashion, you all made them feel at home.
Thank you Kym G and Denise S, my friends really loved the Robo Spin art. 
You both are awesome PR people :)

The event was definitely a success (even if didn't get to show the video 
I worked till 3:30 am Saturday morning to show show during my ten 
minutes on stage).

David Nunez holding the microphone up while I was working my robot was 
very dorky and it shows the lengths he will go to support people at 
these events: Thank you David, Nick and Chase ( and of course the Lovely 
Ariel who helped me load in my boxes of props). You guys rock!

And last but not least, thank you to everyone that made it by my 
display. I have worked very hard on these models and I notice everyone 
that takes the time to look at them especially those who are already 
obligated to watch their own respective art.

The pictures on the web of the RG display are alway so cool. Who is 
responsible for taking those kinds of really bad-ass images? Is there 
any way I could get copies of any pictures from those that took them 
around my booth. I can never seem to take any good pictures while I am 
"working".

Again TRG Rocks!
