Hey Rick, I'd love to be able to show your video at the NANFA convention
this June. I hope you can come too, but we can at least make Casper bring
the video... (that's June 6-8 in Huntsville, AL, for everyone).

And of course you should order your convention t-shirt. Only 100 were
printed, and I think we're up to 51 sold.
