Listen I know I asked for an invite but I’d rather have it go to my girlfriend (not a doper and won’t be) She would love to start exploring the API so if you can send one to her please PM me and I’ll give you her E-mail address ---

> [@Sangwich](#): > > I’ve nominated ColdPhoenix, Gukumatz, TellMeI’mNotCrazy, Declan, willthekittensurvive? and DiosaBellissima for invites. As Juggler said, it’s not direct invites (lots of envelopes to lick 🙂 ) but you should be getting your invites soon. > > I love it–and I’m not just saying that because of where I work. Depending on what wave you are on though, the signal-to-noise ratio might be a bit too low for some people. Awesome, thanks Declan ---
