Joel,

Highly recommend either bringing her out toward the end of the conference or going early and then let her fly back when the conference starts. My experience has been that spice are distractions at DevCon. They want attention, but you want to learn a lot.

OTOH, I'm now single so perhaps I didn't do everything right. < g >
