[Neurobureau-hubs] Call to arms! Let's make this HBM one to remember!

Tue Jun 14 11:48:16 PDT 2011

Hey guys!

I'm getting in pretty early on the 26th, so I could help set up the
exhibition. I don't mind giving Heather a break once in a while either -
will we have some kind of schedule you think? I'm up for helping with drink
tickets for part of the nite too, and handing out buttons, obviously. :)
Just let me know where and when I'm needed.

If there happens to be a Neuro Bureau 3D logo in the works, could you let us
know? The NYU group is submitting all of our posters for printing on Monday
(6/20). Thanks!

Looking forward to it!

-Chrissie
