hey… when is the Flash Forward Fair? Isnt that supposed to be in San Fran?

sometime in May, I think… $500/person…

look for Flashforward on the web…

I’m not going unless someone fills up the “Send Rev to Camp Fund”

Rev

haha - if everyone sends you a dollar than you could go :slight_smile:

that’s a thought…

j/k

Rev

set up a paypal and beg, i think i am going to do that…lol…but when it comes back to new york…

flazoom.com did just that last year…

how pathetic…

Rev

Rev, I think Flash Forward is the end of this month if I remember correctly, I could be wrong…

you could very well be right…

I know that I am not going…

3d-iva is supposed to go, I think…

Are you coming up?

Rev

I was suppose to attend, but since I quit my old job, I’m no longer going with them. :-\

well, maybe you should come up anyway…

we could drain a couple of vodka bottles, see a couple of people play guitar…

Rev

Hmm…that sounds like a good idea, spring break is coming up and I could use a vacation so don’t be surprised if I show up at your doorstep with booze. =)

Say it with me… Ketel One…
