Hey guys, I have emailed about the formatting problems, but apparently it still isn't fixed. Do I need to resubmit the text without formatting?

Travis, I'm not sure what was going on, but it seems like I was able to fix it for you. Thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for fixing that. Oh and funny thing. While I was browsing for my event listing, I found the article about Tech Camp and Rafik Bryant. After a very nice conversation with his father, it looks like they both might come down for our event. Rafik is a big part of the documentary we will be showing. Thanks Peg News!
