Hi Paul! Yes, too busy launching Quirky Auntie (www.NikaQuirk.com) and finding a leadership team for my PhD research. Really wanted to be there. Were you there for Cynthia Winton-Henry's pre-conference day? I've been in the group she's been previewing this community development work with. Let's have a drink in SF sometime. I'm there on Tues and Thu and could meet after 6. Smooches, Nika
