[MakeLV] Mitch creating Hackers on a Train Workshop Tour 2012

[Mitch Altman]

Hello, Dave,

 

Thanks for the invite.  I'd love to do workshops at MakeLV and the Da Vinci Science Center!

 

I'm going to start the difficult process of creating a preliminary schedule today.  July 5th may work out well, if I can fit MakeLV into the Tour.  I'll see what I can do, and I'll get back to you sometime before the end of the weekend.

 

Thanks!

Mitch.
