I've never been to one - and - like you - I need to budget for it. Maybe I can make this one!

>I am curious who all on the UT Forum are going to the Southwest Fox Conference October 22-24, 2004?

>I decided to go, partly because Arizona is a state in which I spent nearly two years back between 1976 and 1978; it is quite an interesting state, hotter than all git out, but in latter October should be settled down pretty well by then. Well, okay, I wanted to go to a VFP conference, but didn't want to spend the beaucoup bucks at DevCon, as I am an independent developer.

>I don't have a big company backing me up, as happened back in the late 90's with the DevCon I went to in 1996 and 1997. [1996 -Scottsdale, Arizona, 1997- DevCon San Diego]. So, I'm going to the one that's within my budget and over a weekend so that I don't lose too much billing time.

>I have no affiliation with these guys at this conference, but I thought I'd put in a shameless plug <g> for them and see if we can round up some more people to go. It looks like we'll have a good time and also some very interesting and well-known speakers. I hope you'll attend.
