Might want to make it a little earlier than that to allow time to register, etc, before they start, but yes. There's still several spaces available. Online registration closes on Thursday night so we have time to print sign-in sheets, etc.
 
Just talked to Buzzworth.

Bring your own lunch.

25 people on the line he said.
