Michael -

Good news...as an alumnus, you can get the group rate of $1195 (see
"Dates and Pricing" on upper right of http://pragmaticstudio.com/clojure)
.

I would *love* to go -- and even though $1195 is a lot of money (I'm an alumnus too), the heavyweight combination of Rich Hickey and Stu
Halloway for three full days is amazing.

In addition to the cash outlay, I'd have to take 2 of my precious 10 annual vacation days -- oh, to be a western European. ;)

Unfortunately, I have gotten out of practice with Clojure, and have
little hope at this point of spending serious time with it. =A0Because
of this, I fear that the sizeable investment would not bear fruit.

I might change my mind between now and then, though...

...though it might be full by then...

Ironic, as *I'm* the one who lives in Reston, no?

Cheers,
Keith
