I will be online working on Outsiders inks tonight streaming through WebEx. There are only 25 seats available.

If you don't know; Webex is for online meetings. Much more interactive than Ustream. With Webex if you have a mic, headset or cell phone you can talk rather than having to type out your questions in hopes that i even pay attention enough to see them. Now we can just talk and interact as if we were all in the same room. Come check it out.
