I tried to get this distributed as wide as possible and into the colleges (since that was the initial idea). Unfortunately I had limited bandwidth and although I had a PR/marketing person who volunteered to help me out - we still couldn't get to everything/everyone.<br/><br/>On the upside - you now know about the event and can keep an eye out for the next one in 2009! Actually Stephen – I should say mea cupla. I tried to get this distributed as wide as possible and into the colleges (since that was the initial idea). Unfortunately I had limited bandwidth and although I had a PR/marketing person who volunteered to help me out – we still couldn’t get to everything/everyone.

On the upside – you now know about the event and can keep an eye out for the next one in 2009!
