  <description>Can you believe we are still bringing out conversations from LMT Lab Day Chicago 2023 in May? It was last February when we set up in the Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) Ballroom and recorded all weekend long. This week brings three more amazing conversations with a few past guests and a new friend. 
First up is Katie Rinaldo and Mandy Arena. These two removable technicians are trying to get the state of Illinois to make Denturism legal. Katie was on the podcast back on episode 78 &amp;amp; 79.  They are back to give us an update on the status of the legislation and to remind everyone how they can help.  Go to the Illinois Denturist website (https://illinoisdenturist.com/) or
