[ANN] Possible NorCal Users Group/LiveCode Intro Meetup

[Peter Haworth]

Scott,
Count me in - I'm in Santa Cruz.  Unfortunately, I'm leaving on Feb 8th for
a month's vacation in New Zealand so won't be able to attend the initial
meeting, but I would definitly be interested in attending any future
meetings.
