SBOE Forum: Saturday, Feb. 7th in Austin

Okey dokey, folks. For those of you who have been wanting to see Cynthia Dunbar - MY SBOE member (God bless your good luck if she's not yours) - in action, here's your big chance. It's this coming Saturday, in Austin - be there. Of course, the notice I got says that only one of the two speakers is confirmed. Let's hope it's Dunbar so we can do some scientific observations on nuttery in action. Saturday, February 7, 2009
