Yes, I guess it is finally going to happen. The date is supposed to be
7 October 2002 at 9pm EST. THIS ought to be interesting. I just
finished checking out what is supposed to be the final version for the
foreign markets and I am still finding things that are technically
wrong; points that we have been trying to get them to change for
MONTHS...sigh. I think it is going to be a nice overview of how an
exploratory season in that part of the world might be run and documents
pretty well the tremendous pressure we were under. Since I guess it is
too much to hope that this crowd would have something better to do on a
Monday night then watch yet another dinosaur documentary, at least I can
request that everyone have a nice stiff drink beforehand (we begged and
pleaded with them to get rid of the camel scene, we really did!).
