	Teresa aka geekers: I'll be there again... coming straight from Brazil this time (er, well, the flight actually lands us in New York and we fly from there) so I'll be rather exhausted by the time I arrive, I would imagine. Drinks and new friends welcome -- see you there! ;}
	John Wirtz aka CaveShark: What to say? I'm a pawn of the evil empire's (we do use a picture of the deathstar as our logo) engineering department. In the real world I'm a woodworking, beer making, motorcycle riding, cigar loving, happy go lucky denizen of the dark. I have a wife, child and a new puppy to keep life interesting. This will be Kay and mine first Convergence, and we're looking foreward to all of it. Send Email.
