back to article Spiceheads keep Austin weird at IT's Comic Con

    Comic-Con for IT - I like that

    Totally agree. The environment is casual, fun and informative. Thanks so much for coming and I know as a user, it means a lot to see you here talking about Spiceworld at the Register. Also, thanks for engaging during the breakout sessions - you have a lot of knowledge to impart. We are eager to learn!

    Best,

    Rob
