I had a great time last sunday. thanks for having us. I was searching for the video you said you were going to load up here. I would like to listen to it before making a decision whether to post it on famecast. It's an eastern-european accent insecurity thing. I guess the deadline for submission is in two days. If you get around to it, great, if not, no big deal.
