This was so much fun. Thanks CIC for putting this on, everyone else for being there and making it as awesome as it was.

Next time though, can you guys not look so comfortable when sitting on the furniture in the lobby?

Did anyone pick up a black long sleeved shirt that has a zipper starting from the sternum? I had it in the shred room and left without it.

I think I left my sweat towel (grey/black/white striped) at the hotel room before I left. I think it was left hanging on a hanger in the closet. Did somebody pick it up?

If so, please don't use the DNA on it to make clones of me, because we all know that a person's sweat is nearly identical to their urine, and you can't make good clones from that stuff.

I thought about making an account called Wasabiclone or miniWasabi and posting - "Master, they made me!" And then photoshop a picture to look like a bad clone - one made of sweat DNA, but that's a lot of work.

I'm glad I got to go to most of it and finally meet/play with some of you guys, but I regret not being able to stay in the hotel or go the last day. Next year I'll make sure not to make any prior commitments.

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for coming to our 9th Annual New Years Jam at McCormick Place in Chicago this year! It was great fun!

I have made a short movie of footage that I took on my little still-shot camera:
http://gallery.me.com/enlightener#100510. It is on youtube (search: footbagenlightener), but my site has better quality downloadable versions.

I also have posted my photos of the event here (downloadable):

I hope you all had as much fun as I did!

Best regards,
Scott Davidson
