[KwartzLab] Hacky Halloween : live TV spot, October 5

[Cedric Puddy]

I'm guessing that Rob might be more familiar than some with performing and being comfortable in the spotlight -- Rob, am I right?  Are you potentially interested?  

I know I have a tendency to Ramble and say "Uhmmmm" a lot when the camera gets turned on, so I'm thinking I'm not the best choice.

	All the Best,

	-Cedric
