In the City we can get Seltzer Sisters

Important answers:

1. No, we're not sending anyone to ApacheCon EU but I'd love to find a way to US one.

2. We just bought a Soda Club brand seltzer maker. Our friends swear by it and so far we're pretty happy with the seltzer. It also comes with soda syrups. I've tried the Root Beer which was only so-so.

Shane Curcuru:

Yes - go submit your CFP for ApacheCon US now!
