Now that would be cool to be able to go to! If I wasn't on K.P. that weekend I'd head on over to Kevins place and drag him along. Would sure beat watching college football all weekend.

I wonder if they're going to teach both quantitative and qualitative methods of assay.... For those that don't know the difference... The first tells you how much gold is in the ore and the second tells you how pure it is. (I think I got that right)

I think a friend of mine is going so I may be able to share more. I've done a quantitative assay in a friend's garage lab, very interesting!
