Sounds like we should pack the 2-stroke blender.

I wasn't the organizer this year, so I don't know.

The past years that I organized was ~150.

Yeah that sounds easy enough but I'm the only RN scheduled to work on my unit that day and it would put them in a tough position. I'm also on 2 year probation and it's just not worth the risk.

I've been working w/ CL Idle and EAE for about 3 weeks now (trying to get the initial values table right for colder temps is a b**ch when you only get one shot a day in the mornings). I've finally got something that seems to be working better (not perfect, just better).

I have room on my hotel floor. I can bring an air mattress up for you to crash on if you want to.

Everyone I have ever met at megameets have been extremely friendly and helpful. Some of the talks might be slightly above what you understand, but overall they are good times. If you can make it out, I would highly suggest it.

The MegaMeet was a good time. Learned a lot about a whole lot of things. Looking forward to the new Wideband controller B&G is working on. Will be a bit more expensive then the MXT-L and AEM, but will be leaps and bounds better.

They were recording all the presentations, so hopefully they get them posted online shortly so everyone can go back and watch them.
