    When you go to register for the Syracuse 11/13 event, it doesn't show up in the list.

    Will they give out FREE copy of Windows 8 software at the launch event?  OR any other software?  Just like the past launch events?

    Why no Phoenix launch event this year?

    Also, just a reminder that not every city has every track, so you'll need to choose a track first, then see which cities have events covering that track. Thanks, Chris

    Wil, unfortunately the Waltham event has just been canceled with storm safety concerns.  Hopefully it will be rescheduled.   (For future reference, they do have a garage, but I believe there is a charge if you aren't an overnight guest.  I think there's some street parking as well.)
