I guess you won't mind if your roomie orders from the late night room service menu and has beans and broccoli and washes it down with some crab cakes?LOL. You're genially loquacious these days. I'm guessing it's the change in life that accompanies having a child. ;-)
FWIW I've wanted to go to one of these conferences for years but every time I find myself giving a presentation somewhere else, making it impossible to attend. One year I was actually in Phoenix the day before the conference but could not alter my schedule. Such is life.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
