  Hi SHannon, I hate to do this, but it looks like I will need to attend one of your other events, today is just not working! I hope it goes GREAT, and I'll see you at another one.

  I'm so sorry I have to cancel. Unfortunately I have a funeral to attend in Olympia at 2 and I would really be cutting it close. I was really looking forward to this event. Hopefully you will host another event soon.

  Cheers, Kammie

  You folks missed a great event. It wasn't what I thought it would be about specifically, but I learned a lot that caught me up on leaving my "footprint" and "feeding the spiders."

  And, more importantly, I now know that whenever Shannon is hosting and event, I want to attend.

  She gave us information we can use right now; she offered assistance and hooked us up with resources that will instantly help us.

  It was also a pleasure meeting the other attendees and I expect we will all be in touch.

  As an added bonus we got to experience a "Banu Bomb." a totally unexpected visit by Banu - one of my favorite people in Biznik.

  I'm really glad I stopped someone on the street to ask for directions so that I could actually find the place, and I do recommend you tell people in the future that it's underneath the "Discovery House" or whatever that place is called.

  Dennis you are the best! Thank you so much for the kind words and the reminder to leave directions that actually describe the location better than a coordinate!

  I am so happy that I met Banu and hope to get to learn more about her efforts at wwish as well as follow her blog. Now about your blog...I can't wait to dig in and catch up on back issues as well as follow your future success in the internet world.
