RE: Talking in Seattle (fwd)

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

I think the Saturday talk was a one-shot test meeting for portland; I'm
not sure they were planning on doing that regularly (but I'd bet they'd do
it for Wayne).  I personally would like to hear about big South Americans
too, having slept through much of those talks in the past before our trip.

Also, if you're not Heather or Scott, I still don't have your lists of
donations for the newsletter. :)
