[06:14] They dont let people know until the last minute, IMHO [06:15] gotcha [06:19] next one will be in Orlando [06:19] they let that be leaked quite awhile ago [06:19] they liked that location a lot last time [06:20] smelled like the old dog had gas, so I took him outside [06:20] Ok- I hope to be able to be setting up a comp0uter lab in Hialeah Florida after UDS [06:20] awesome [06:20] he wanted right back in -- sure enough, it was more than gas, and already taken care of.....
