Hi All,
It seems that continued observations of this one has had a significant effect on the predicted orbit. It turns out that this little beast is _not_ on a parabolic orbit at all and is instead part of the Jupiter family of comets with a perihelion out past Mars and a period of 6.29 yrs.
Revised orbital elements are here:

Rather than perihelion occurring in months to come, it has already happened -- back in late April.
Up-shot is, its basically nothing to get excited about -- unfortunately.
Best,
