Thanks for the props Stephen. I will say...hee hee. Thanks for the props Stephen. I will say that it isn't actually necessary to be in a basement to broadcast in an open manner. It can also be done in living rooms and at conventions. I encourage anyone to check out what happened at the nycist conference.
