The lack of a watering hole (without having to drive or walk) was a slight inconvenience to me, even though I'm local. We managed to get sizable groups to go to places nearby pretty easily, although the groups might have been a bit larger if no driving was required. Craig, Bo and I even went out for a bucket of beers at a really cool blues joint after dinner Saturday night, and didn't discuss word one of technology!

Even if you weren't a drinker, being able to hang out together and socialize in the evening hours is valuable, and that represents some of my best memories at conferences. -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
