Oh, well....I guess I wasn't destined for stardom anyway. I wanted to get to NYC to be part of the project, but also to meet some of you guys. Everybody make a pact to keep the rest of us posted!
Good Luck! XO--Colleen

I know Erbitux's manufacturer has a big website presence and I'd imagine there are others out there, too.
