Sounds interesting, Ill be there. How about you Grinler?

I am going to try and stop by. I was going to be one of the MVPs on the chat, but I have a prior engagement. If I can squeeze some time in I will be there.

It was very interesting, some good points and topics were brought up.

I tried to make it but was unable to. Do you remember what MVPs were hosting?
