For the first time at LAFCPUG, the boys from The Foundry will be in town all the way from the UK and will show off Keylight and FurnaceCore for FCP.

Plus, they will have another round of Stump the Gurus, show and tells, and of course, the World Famous Raffle. And MORE! Also there will be time for you to get up in front of everyone and say what you need to say. Agenda will be inked about 1 week before meeting date, so stay tuned.
