Looking for help with this. It's after first quarter, so targets will be limited. But after speaking with this guy on the phone today, you will be in the company of some important scientists (can't say who publicly for security reasons); it should be a fun experience. I'm planning to be there.
Please let me know -- this is a Thursday evening @ Sundance (in Provo Canyon).
TIA,
