Mike, you should really start branching out and taking these on the road. Any plans on doing any of your workshops in the LA area?
Arlyn: I can't swing conferences around the country. The economics and population are so different as you move accross the US.
I'm starting to offer Webinars in May. The first few will be free as I stretch the old Webinar legs.
Awesome, I look forward to it.
Can't tell you how many times I have used your tutorials.
