oui, pretty much right when I get back from a planned vacation. I'd still consider going if I can successfully lobby for a comp'd ticket :biggrin:

I might be able to make it since I live in DC and have a butt-load of vacation that I can use. Maybe get work to pay the fees...
Even better, I can take the metro to within a block and walk to the meeting. Woohoo...
