Well, I was planning to come to Munich. I actually intended to submit
a few papers as well. However, the week before YAPC::NA, we bought a
house and we get the keys to the house in September. Hence, I'll be 
painting, cleaning and moving that month. :(
 
If it had been in Koln or Dusseldorf or Aachen, I might have been able
to drop by for a day, but Munich is a 10-12 hour drive, and a one day
visit would cost me 3 days. :\
 
As for beer, well, I don't drink alcohol anyway. And there will be other
YAPCs. I plan to go to as many YAPCs I can.
