> THANK YOU, FRIENDS
> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
> Also, a giant thank you to:
>   - Greg Schomburg who, for the bajillionth year in a row, designed the
> Sketching identity (with ANOTHER custom typeface!) and built the website.
>   -Tom Igoe, who has been a sounding board and collaborator throughout the
> planning process this year (and many years past), and who is providing the
> key enabling technologies and ideas for the charrette.
>   - Leah McKibbin and Sans Souci (http://sanssoucigroup.com/). She, Janie
> Coakley, and the rest of San Souci do 99% of the logistics (which means
> 99% of the work) to make Sketching possible every year. If you have a
> small business or a big project, and you need someone to organize the heck
> out of it, they will do that.
>
> Also, I bet I'm forgetting someone to thank. Please remind me and I'll not
> let it happen again.

Hope is on the ballot. And fear is on the ballot, too.*
