I dunno how well the ecto list takes HTML attachments, so i removed it and appended plain text. This invitation says: "Please download our flyer, and give it to your friends and colleagues." So that is what I'm doing. So if you're in Boston on 2/12/2008, here's you're chance to meet two Tribe members. I need to learn who Tribe is.
