Weeee ;-) I missed the last one by a day due to bad planning and thinking that I couldn't justify spending a whole week in Portland.

Well, I'm pretty sure that myself and bassplayer will make it this year though.

Oh, we're there for work, definitely, but without TheDamian and the party, I don't think I'd be pushing so hard to make OSCON over other conferences :) Hey, perhaps you need to have a word with Tim, since I'm sure I'm not the only one who uses the party as a tipping point - maybe O'Reilly will chip in?

I hear you had to re-negotiate the price half way through the last one. Maybe you should set a hard limit on the number of attendees / t shirts you give out. Or something. Ack I don't know. The economy's picking up, and so is OSCON. What happens if if the cost goes up by another 50% this year? It's never nice to have to reign things in, but I can see that having to be seriously considered.

Arghhh, I just re-read that last sentence. I guess I *am* beginning to think like a manager. Bummer.

cLive ;-)

ps - maybe I can get my act together earlier this year and organize a better PerlMonks meet. I'm pretty sure I can get dinner for 30-40 people if I kick my boss enough ;-)
