Ok so as you can see from the headlines, I'm not going to be able to run the moves Thursday, so I've asked one of our valient TDs, Mike, to step in and run the turn himself. Mike's email address is:
 
mike(at)fuzzylogicllc.com
 
The deadline is Thursday, at a time to suit Mike - Mike, please advise the guys what time you'd like them to send in the moves by.
 
Stay cool,
