    Informal CG/TC Meet-up in Israel

I'm most interested in the great gadgets coming out of there but I'm happy to sit down with local folks to talk web services.

Either way, RSVP to john@crunchgear.com with the subject line "RSVP ISRAEL." I'll keep a mailing list and let you know where/when we'll hold the even on Monday morning.
