Door Prize for February Meeting

[David Cramer]

Yeah, but if only 10 people buy $2 tickets, you still only make $20 and 
the other 30 people sleep through that part of the meeting :-)

I have a copy of the O'Reilly book "Digital Photography Hacks" that I'd 
be willing to donate. Not signed by anybody, but in good-as-new condition.
