  At VSConnections in Vegas Eileen Rumwell had comedian Greg Proops interview some of us. It was off the cuff and fun. The conversation was about 10 minutes, but this 1 minute short is me getting completely railed. Amusing to say the least. Oh and if that isn't enough -- i found this post by Eileen too -- transcribed below so you can laugh at us. Do the Support People in India Know About the Helamonsters? What's a helamonster?
