Around here, there's nothing we like more than a good demo, whether the Head Honcho shows up or not. Probably goes back to the days when we gave George III a good talking-to! (Oh, yes, that was on 7/4, too, wasn't it?)
Unfortunately, I was in the middle of moving and had to miss this one, but I really enjoyed the February get-together, even though we nearly froze.
