Grin.  Gonna head out this weekend!

I'll have to go back out to the resort in a week or so to finish the setup. 
The telco screwed up the DSL install.  It's all set in the puter but no 
signal to the house.  sigh


1.5 hours per direction, twice this week, for nothing!

Hi,

Not sure what I did to get the WiNOG show blacklisted - but, taking our
event out of the mix, if you were going to look at alternative WISP/ISP
shows, I'd highly recommend checking out ISPCON

http://www.ispcon.com

Although wireless is just one component of the show, the Golden Group (show
producers) is a highly professional organization that tries REALLY HARD to
cater to the small ISP/WISP

 awww dude, the day after  the red red wine will make you feel like 
you rammed a freight train sometime in the night. I got to admit that I 
like the Chianti  - - - but in really small quantities!!  hehehehehe - 
you use the wicker jug that the Chianta comes in to  put a candle in and 
place it on a shelf for a nice romantic, warm feeling here in Louisiana.


  I am all for a camp meeting somewhere - - please include me in the 
final destination, but the Mosquitoes down here are atrocious and I hear 
tales they stand flat footed and are have been known to have  - - - - 
well - - - - they say sex with Turkeys, but thats probably giving them a 
bit much credit. I reckon what I am saying is make it when its cooler 
and a Mosquito free environment please :-)   Swimming and jet skis would 
be a definite plus!


 I do have a Big Creek  and about 300 acres of open field behind my 
house, but then there is the Mosquito thing and all my neighbors would 
bring their Chianta and candles in the wicker encased bottles - - -  it 
would appear to be another seance and these local red neck Police would 
raid the party, drink the wine and break all the bottles  - - -  and 
then on Saturday mornings these folks get on a 14 x 8' plank board, 
drag behind a 25HP Evinrude (outboard) and a 14' aluminum boat and call 
it stump jumping- - - - -  Big Creek won't work.

No problem

I don't think I would be a good (or credible) source for information about
WISPCON, given that Michael A has started a defamation campaign against me

In terms of ISPCON:
I would recommend checking out Jon Price's (organizer of ISPCON) weblog to
get a behind the scenes look at ISPCON http://ispcon.blogs.com/

I've always liked Wisconsin (well for the long and beautiful summer, 
sorry I can't come in Feb though wow, it can be cold)...


I have to note here. This is really Scriv's idea, not mine and I don't 
want to step on his toes for this event. I don't know if he's going to 
chime in here, but I want him to give his blessing on whatever develops 
for a summer WISPA get together. I frankly am not all that stoked about 
WiNOG, since that was birthed by WISPA people, and then adopted, or 
kidnapped, if you prefer, when WISPA folk - me included, didn't jump in 
and get it organized and turned into a for-profit fest. All the best to 
it, but there's room for some jetskis and a different venue. Give me 
some smokin' watercraft, decent water, and some blue skys, a few other 
WISPs to BS with and I'm set for a hell of a good feeling weekend+..


A get together has always aligned with the non-profit, have fun, limit 
salesmanship - other than to each other by our mutual, hard one 
experiences - which are very very valuable. Be it in a tent by the 
river/lake or in an urban setting.. (motorcycles or aircraft - I'll play 
pilot - I managed earn a commercial multi-engine instrument rating some 
years ago) Not the same as a bunch of screaming jetskis chasing down the 
yachts.. ha ha ha.. Of course I'm exaggerating a bit here... WISPA water 
gang goes crazy... I can see the headlines now...


Frankly, I *need* the vacation..

Its all a social thing for me. I don't go to shows to learn anything new 
much any more. Its all on the Web, or as you say, in the trade show demo 
/ exhibit areas - you can ask some tough questions, like, when will the 
Atlas radios be working reliably? They rock when they work, but I'm on 
pins and needles about the links I'm testing going south. hmmm.. If we 
all end up someplace this year that's just for WISPs, I'll bring a pair 
and setup a link for the whole period of time and have a 'bake-off'.. No

Its all a social thing for me. I don't go to shows to learn anything new

much any more. Its all on the Web, or as you say, in the trade show demo

/ exhibit areas - you can ask some tough questions, like, when will the Atlas 
radios be working reliably? They rock when they work, but I'm on pins and 
needles about the links I'm testing going south. hmmm.. If we all end up 
someplace this year that's just for WISPs, I'll bring a pair and setup a link 
for the whole period of time and have a 'bake-off'.. No

vendors allowed, or promoters..

 attend a damn thing. Someone will give me a pass for the exhibits and 
 the rest of the sales BS can suck a limb. I do like going

 to these functions for the meeting of wireless buddies and meeting 
 some I havent ever had the pleasure of meeting. I also like to rub 
 elbows with the guys whose gear I do use.

 Hi,

 Not sure what I did to get the WiNOG show blacklisted - but, taking 
 our event out of the mix, if you were going to look at alternative
WISP/ISP
 shows, I'd highly recommend checking out ISPCON

 http://www.ispcon.com

 Although wireless is just one component of the show, the Golden Group 
 (show
 producers) is a highly professional organization that tries REALLY 
 HARD to cater to the small ISP/WISP

Hell of a deal.. Gets my vote so far.. Michigan is cold though isn't it? 
Been a long time since I was up there... Whatever we do, I think we 
should have one of these this year... The summer in Aspen is pretty much 
gone. We had 2 weeks in July and now its sweater weather, I kid you not.

Michigan would be a nice place for the gathering.  What do ya'll

September.  When and where, I'll be there.

 awww dude, the day after  the red red wine will make you feel like

a candle in and place it on a shelf for a nice romantic, warm feeling 
here in Louisiana.


  I am all for a camp meeting somewhere - - please include me in the

hear tales they stand flat footed and are have been known to have  -

giving them a bit much credit. I reckon what I am saying is make it 
when its cooler and a Mosquito free environment please :-)   Swimming 
and jet skis would be a definite plus!


 I do have a Big Creek  and about 300 acres of open field behind my 
house, but then there is the Mosquito thing and all my neighbors 
would bring their Chianta and candles in the wicker encased bottles - 
- -  it would appear to be another seance and these local red neck 
Police would raid the party, drink the wine and break all the 
bottles  - - -  and then on Saturday mornings these folks get on a 
14 x 8' plank board, drag behind a 25HP Evinrude (outboard) and a 
14' aluminum boat and call it stump jumping- - - - -  Big Creek 
won't work.

I'm heading out to WINOG tonight.  I won't make Dallas, but I'll send you a
new tube of Boudreaux's.  Did you ever try that stuff on your head Mac. 

I don't have any idea who else is going to Utah except Judd.

 There are so many trade shows these days, I'm just looking for 
 comments from those of you who have attended a recent one and found it 
 worthwhile. Frankly I don't see any trade show that costs $500 or more 
 worthwhile any longer, but perhaps I'm entirely wrong, or its just 
 that I'm past the learning curve.
