We all wish you success, of course, but I wouldn't count on seeing many of us
there. I doubt that many will be inclined to pay $25.00 at the door just to
provide "moral" support. If you really want a good showing (and bodies to
help with general discussion after the presentation) you might try to find a
way to get them in for free/reduced cost.

Not that we're all cheap bastards, but my past interactions with the AITP has
been pretty useless if you're trying to drum up new work, so I don't think
the cost justification is there. ;-)
