[atlantaprog] Re: Thanks to everyone

Hey all,

I have to say to you guys of Solution Science Systems, bluntly and simply,
that you kicked ass and you were a very welcome addition to Rogue Fest this
year, thank you for being a part!   Rogue Fest is really special mainly
because the crowd is positive and they DO "get it," and that's exactly why
this festival came to be - to assemble the people who "get it."  The
audience is very receptive, and I might add there were several standing O's
that I saw (and participated in!), one of which even went to my drummer
Daniel for his terrific drum solo.  I have to say this because I am totally
proud of him, and we had a great time with our show, so indeed I'm thankful
to everyone who made this happen.  We're anticipating an even better event
next year.  - Veronica
