[RTC List] Looking for RTC holiday mixer sponsors

[Bob Morse]

It's free. We're seeking sponsors to help cover the cost. No RSVP 
necessary. What else? Food. No host bar. Live music. Silent auction. 
Tech Business award. A tech trivia contest. The tweetup is only on part 
of this year's annual Holiday Party. It is not, the by any means, the 
whole focus. If you don't like Twitter you can ignore it. Both at the 
party and in the rest of your life.

I don't know how many keyboards will be there. A few.
