I’ll be there! Who else is going?
Anybody know what the theme is going to be this year?
Always a good time! I missed it last year and probably will again this year, but Steve will be there showing the production version of our new Terrain Synth! And of course the MRCC and The NDLR!
hey is that Suit and Tie Guy?
Yeah, Suit is always one of the performers on Friday night.
