As of 12:30 it was not there yet either. I sent an email saying that I
believed this to be false advertising. To say there will be a demo, all
day long, and then not have a demo is definitely a deceptive way to get
people there.

I suggest everyone that went and was disappointed, should send an email to
let them know.
