Re: Y2K2 Loopfest was awesome!

My thoughts were with you guys all weekend (well, there was this ten minute
spot on Saturday night where I though about my looping rig...)
Unfortunately, I spent the weekend helping various friends reorganize (and
recover) their lives after this week's set of tech company lay offs. (It's
so nice of all the companies to announce their financial results together,
so they can all lay people together too.)


Last man standing,
