Well that would be very cool!

All limitations are self imposed.  Work hard and dream big.

Did you go to this Mike?

I would have loved to, but Colorado is a little far.

Anybody go?

Cheers.

No, even further from Derbyshire...I have been to Colorado Springs though, nice place with an excellent bookshop.
 I would have loved to have gone - I don't know about  recording or a  transcript or something, but I will try to find out.

Lol yes, I did see you were from the UK, but I thought perhaps you were in the states for something. Couldn't work out how you managed to stumble upon this otherwise... how did you stumble upon this?

Cheers.

Came up on another DG I am in - out of the blue so to speak, as the forum isn't related specifically to the topic or BOB.
