I will only be able to attend the 3rd, but it seems that several SL colleagues might be there and that would it be possible to introduce ourselves...............just a thought! I don't have a badge, I was at the back by the door but will try to get in a bit earlier next time so I can sit down. There must have been 400 there yesterday.
