Evan,
Living in Los Angeles, I hear all kinds of stories of what musicians/actors went thru to make it to LA. I think it would be kinda cool to have a programmer be able to tell his story.
Lets start a grass roots campaign. I'd buy a tshirt to help get you to Devcon. Now, see how easy it was. All you need is a few more like me and you're set.

>LOL! For those that don't know, Erik and a few others offered me $20 to do the Devcon keynote in my boxers. I am willing to sing "Battle Hym of the Republic" for another $20 while standing on my head. Mike Helland said I should sell t-shirts outside of the Devcon entrance. $20 x 50shirts = $1000! Hmmm... what could I put on it...
