Thanks for coming out everyone! I've had 3 major outages at work and its caused a pretty massive delay in getting the meeting notes up and for that I apologize. Hopefully this weekend or early next week!

Pretty funny meeting - you inspired me to join (as in, pay the dues!). Also inspired me to brew a wheat wine. +1 to Scott Windsor.
