[ausev] press screening for wktec

Wed Jul 19 21:53:15 GMT 2006

Just to clarify,

These were suggested priorities for the press screening which will likely be
limited to a small number of people.

I would like to have vehicles there and will at the very least be trying to
get the Henney up there for Monday.  However, if we have to choose, I think
our largest effort should probably be in getting a good display ready for
the theater going public on Friday and Saturday.

Cheers,

Aaron Choate
