Hey Rion,<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the intro. And welcome to Noisebridge!<BR>
<BR>
I think 12:40p is an OK enough time. Thanks! Now all I have to do is prepare the talk (for which others will be joining me).<BR>
<BR>
See you Saturday.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
Mitch.<BR>

Unfortunately CSULB can kick us out and lock the doors <BR>> of our space at 6pm each day, so we're only officially planning talks <BR>> from around 10am to 5 or 5:30pm (with setup starting at 9am).<BR>> <BR>> The tentative speaker schedule should be posted today (right now Mitch <BR>> is tentatively scheduled from 12:40pm - 1:10pm Saturday, let me know <BR>> if we're cutting it too close to your planned arrival time!).<BR>> <BR>> And if anyone ends up with an extra spot or looking for a ride I <BR>> highly recommend adding yourself to the carpool list: http://bilconference.pbwiki.com/Carpool-BIL09 <BR>> .
