  1. in email, ensure the mailbox "kJams->kJams Store->Convert" has the correct date range
  2. run kJams, debug->mail->file <-- see GeoData.txt on desktop, you can then use this to geocode for map
    1. if you get a -5000 (afpAccessDenied) error you can copy "Convert.mbox" to the desktop, and recompile using the 2nd "CONVERT_PATH" constant
  3. go to MailChimp.com->audience->manage audience->import contacts->use settings from last import->browse
  4. pick "GeoData.txt"
  5. go through every column assigning a column name (god why don't they remember this shit?)
