They do, but $100 off of $200 more is still $200 more :) I agree with Dave in that I felt a little "sticker shock" when I saw the price announced. Last year was my first CFUnited (and I had a blast), but I paid my own way, and would likely not have been able to at $200 more (to be frank, it was a tight squeeze for me to be able to do it at last year's price...which isn't a reflection on the price...but the piss poor condition of my personal finances <g>). However, I don't know the first thing about the cost of running the conference. At $649, maybe Michael broke even, or even lost money. If that's the case, then I understand the increase. As much as it sucks for the attendees to have to pay more, you can't realistically ask someone to invest the kind of time into putting together a conference that's on the scale of CFUnited and not have it be worth their while to do so. So if that's the case, it's understandable. If it's "hey, we are -the- premiere CF conference of the year and people will pay whatever we ask in order to attend"...then that's kinda sad :\ -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
