I was so burnt out that it took me a while send this email to follow up and thank everybody.

On April 9th, the Rich Internet Application Camp was a blast. Almost 76 people attended out of 100 registered. We had presentations on Comet (Reverse Ajax), Adobe Flex, The Art of CSS in DreamWeaver, Adobe ColdFusion, Adobe Flex Java Integration, and Adobe ColdFusion Java Integration. We stayed very late and ended up with 30 people by the end of the night. We had presenters, including myself, from companies like E*Trade, WebAssist, and Improvement Direct. It was a very good turn out.

We taped the whole event and we are working on making it available online very soon.
