[LGM] very late (too late?) talk proposal

[C R]

PS- Aside from time restrictions, I'm also very very interested in John's
talk.
His presentation may have tools that will assist me in my own work. This is
a major reason for my attending the meet.


I may be in a better position to help with video recording/editing at the
meeting if I'm not presenting something as well.

Again, thanks, and sorry for any extra trouble the switch in schedule may
have caused. It's much appreciated. :)

-C
