Can’t wait until he makes it out here to Western Canada (Victoria, specifically).  Rick is an awesome guy and I’ve always been flattered that he knew who I was over two years ago at the first MESH conference.  Since then I’ve been able to chat with Rick occasionally, and yeah, he gets it.

Rick says on his blog that to sign up all you need to do is to email rick at jlaventures dot com with the word roundtable in the subject line.

Hey Rick, need a roadie?
