[Imc] Come to the Regional Gathering (schedule in here)

[Paul Riismandel]

Hey Urbana IMCistas,

You want to come and talk with and hang out with the folks who will be here 
this weekend, and they want to hang with you.  The Regional IMC Gathering 
is this weekend here at our little IMC, so take advantage of the fact that 
you don't have to commute hundreds of miles to attend (and reflect how cool 
it is that 30+ people from all over are willing to make that commute to be 
here).

You can still register (that way we know how much food we need for the 
meals on such) on line at the Gathering webpage:
