For those of you that have responded I wanted to take a second and thank you for all of your interest. It seems you all are as excited about the class as I am, it’s gonna be great! There have been a few requests to change the date of the class because the original date conflicted with Easter weekend. The new date as it appears in this post is April 21st & 22nd. Please mark your calendars accordingly. There are still a few seats left so if you can make it, try and take advantage of the early registration discount.
