    Boston Axe-Fest - Are You Booked?

    Any chance someone from FAS can chime in here and provide any clearer info on what to expect or what the process will be? Given the waitlist reply and the forum responses, sounds like many of us are confused. Is there really a waitlist, or was it just a sign up? I suspect many of us only...

    Matt - Would you guys be able to let us know if we don't get a seat? Wouldn't be much fun to get there and then not get in. :( The response I got from the waitlist email was the same as with the product waitlists. Not sure what to make of it in this case. RR

    Modeler Stress Test
