[ddj] Mapping event in Baltimore

Fri May 2 00:31:09 UTC 2014

Hi Heather, Courtney and Chad.

Sorry for my slow reply. A couple responses:

*For Heather:* Very good points. Do you know how I can get on those lists?
I see some archived versions, but I'm not sure where the live one lives
or how to subscribe.

*For Courtney and Chad:* Glad to hear you're interested. I've added you to
my contacts list for the event.

Thanks for all the enthusiasm.

Best,

Patrick
