Well, Launch Pad is over. I should probably post a deeply intellectual retrospective or something, but maybe I’ll just say “AWESOME” and leave it at that for now.

We’re off fairly early tomorrow for Denver, so I’ll be rattling around Denvention tomorrow afternoon and onward. All my dinners are already booked, but I’ll be generally available for other forms of socializing and schmoozing, within the parameters of my schedule.

See some, all or none of you there.
