Dang! Wish I could be there but it clashes with a previous commitment
in Albuquerque (a cat show - seriously!).

Do you have a sense of what level the talks are going to be at? Would
a Clojure n00b get a lot of value out of it or are most of the talks
going to be advanced? (I'd expect the latter so I'm just curious,
given that I can't make it anyway).

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. A conference I want to attend right in my
backyard and its the same weekend as my high school class reunion...

Everyone's different, but if I were you, I'd opt for just about any
conference compared to going to a high school reunion... :-)

Unfortunately, I'll not be able to attend. The price of admission +
the price of gas = too much green for my poor soul to handle.

Well, I'll be there even though they've inexplicably scheduled the birthday party for the day before my birthday.

Yesterday I paid for my ticket, and scheduled a vacation day for Oct
22. Looking forward to it.

Booked... for technical reasons (bought a package flight + hotel through
expedia.ca), I'll be a staying at the nearby Hyatt hotel.

I had no other choice to be there since I argued loudly for a "central" location
for this event :)))
