Hi there!
Just wanted to check… will the meetup be on January 13th or 20th? I believe you have the 20th marked on the header but the description indicates the 13th. I ask because my friend and I are thinking of organizing a meetup in Las Vegas and I’d prefer not to overlap with your event :slight_smile: … just in case!
Thanks!

Hi Demaris, thank you!

EDIT: Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it out to Phoenix :frowning: I hope you all have a wonderful time if you end up meeting up. I will be hosting two meetups in February – one in Montclair (SoCal) and one in San Francisco. Please feel free to join us if you are able (I know it’s a bit of a trek from AZ!).

HI,

You can purchase a rubber stamp from many online printing companies. I purchased mine from vistaprint.com but there are many others. Mine simply has my screen name: EZREDAX on it.
