Matt,

Good job on the minute record!

Let me quickly introduce myself-- I took
first place in the Strend this summer in
Syracuse. I was living in NY at the time but
have since moved back to Bay Area.

Now that I'm here, I'd love to organize a
West Coast Strend. I'm thinking some time
early Spring.

What do you think?

Meantime, good luck at breaking the record
this weekend!
