JK,

That's a good point. Whether Chuck works those days or is on paternity leave he should be able to find a few hours to drop in to the hotel bar in the evening.


>Just a personal observation, Chuck, but if you have a baby coming about that time, I think your priorities don't include a full conference. However, I'm sure the folks who will be there would be glad to see you "ad hoc" for drinks or dinner.

>>Seriously, I am thinking about it. Our baby is due in middle of October as well. I want to go, plus it's in my hometown, thus saves cost for hotels, food, transportation, etc...

>>>It sounds to me like you'll be out sick a couple of days in October *s* it'll be worth spending your own money on the registration.
