Anyway someone could record it, transcribe it, or at least summarize for those of us who will be unable to attend?

I won't be able catch it live -- so I second the plea to transcribe / summarize for us absentees.

Maybe some hint at progress with funding in this update? http://www.forbes.com/sites/devinth...motors-tests-the-waters-and-finds-27-million/

Unfortunately I believe this is going to be about the crowdfunding method of raising money and not about Elio Motors or the vehicle.

For sure it will be about that, whether it also leads to PE discussing opportunities it has/is opening up will be interesting.

The guy from Forbes liked my questions -- but we'll see if they get asked or if Paul answers them in something other than generalities. I'm guessing not, because he has the suppliers' group next weekend ... and he'll probably want to save his news for them. If there is any news.

The questions were posted on another thread, so here they are where they probably belong better.

Questions for Paul Elio: 1. Crowd funding is going great for Elio! But $27 million is not $130 or more million. Where will you raise the rest in time to begin production in 2016? 2. How big IS the gap between what you have and what you now need? 3. Are you open to foreign investment? Why or why not?

Speaking of Forbes... Here is an article that is interesting. Notice the statement about finding the capital needed to launch the Elio:: http://www.forbes.com/sites/devinth...motors-tests-the-waters-and-finds-27-million/
