I do remember that now that you brought that up, thanks!
I've never been to New Orleans so I would be up for that! Hirsch's speech was worth the trip, it reinforced the confidence I have in the company.
I shook Hirsch's hand a couple hours after his presentation and told him he gave a great, factual speech. He replied to me," when you have a great, real story it's easy to stand up and talk about it."
