geeze, enough on Faye all ready.
Seriously, everyone... I end up starting this post nearly every year as a Positive thing, not the bullshit most of you all turned it into.

Re: DC16 SHOUT OUTS AND BOOS (well, if you must).... (go here)
Shout outs and YAYS:
DT and GOONS: THANK YOU for hosting a super time and providing me with the only social life I may ever have in my sad geek life, you double plus roxor my world!!
Banashide: BEST FAVORITE PARTY HANGOUT GIRLIE OF ALL TIME!
Flea, Queeg, Cap'n and all of 23.org: You guys are my Happy Fun Club away from home!
Siviak: The party that slid between the molecules, if only for a moment.
OSVDB/Spider Party: Nice scenery at the bar, even if it was an exec or some kind of management suitguy, most memorable con eye contact.
DanK / IOActive: Carnival Party - wild and creative, lots of eye candy for ADHD geek ;-)
Barkode - down, but not out... ninja party will be back!
Special shoutout to whoever "goatse'd" a kiosk at the Riviera... while it's probably the most offensive, disgusting, vulgar and nauseating defacement possible - it certainly does bring back "the days.... when we only had 14.4 modems and ..."
BOOS and WTFs:
Sunset (Veterinary??) Hospital - nobody comes to Vegas because they *want* to come to your freaking hospital in horrific agony. If you don't want to _care_ for the _ill_ then in the name of God, go into a field where you can ignore people and they won't die.
Las Vegas Taxis: You *assholes*. When someone gets into your cab and says "we are going to the emergency room of the nearest hospital, take *this* route and no other" Your response should not be to throw the customer out of the cab because you realize you will not be able to rip them off. May you develop festering pustules on your anus and genitals you scum sucking sons of illiterate goat herders.
Riviera Splash Bar - you want me to pay HOW MUCH for shitty 12 year old pre-pubescent scotch you miserable pedos and you won't even let us bring in our own *decent* booze to our rooms without a surcharge??
Boo to the Riviera in general for breaking up our parties, for trying to break the spirit of our conference and and generally being clueless dicks.
Finally, one last *boo* too the hookers who can't spell or consult a calendar and got lost at our con again. It's "hacker" not "hooker" so next time you come looking to score some money off the guys at DefCon, please remember, these guys usually get laid for free because women *like* them, they're nice men and they have women friends who will look out for them.
Yeah Faye, I'm talking to you.Leave a comment:

BlackOrchid:
dataworm and Alklloyd: I didn't see EITHER of you this year.. but next year you better show up IN MY FACE!
Every single Defcon I don't see people I love...never fails..it's like a formula I can never understand. And other stuff happens...
He Whose Name We Shall Not Speak looked at me and said "Hi Al K. Lloyd" and it took me 30 seconds to realize who it was. It had been six years though. PM me guy.
B.O. I have two Dallas women and you will always be one of them...so sorry I missed you. I saw Datawurm once or twice briefly, another person I didn't really get to talk with . And i'm always IN YOUR FACE...hopefully.

Re: DC16 SHOUT OUTS AND BOOS (well, if you must).... (go here)
Okie. Must shout out. I know where to begin.
DT, staff, goons, supporters: you did it again this year. You never fail to surprise me. And thank you again for giving this poor little geek a big sip of the intoxicant that is Defcon and keeps her going until next time…
Deviant Ollam: You know what I would say, so I won’t say it. Contact me about the TTB’s unless you have made other arrangements. Please let us spend more time together next year. I will plant myself in Lockpick Village, you! I now feel stupid about being embarrassed about it this year…
Miss Wonderful Beautiful Lopey: ditto girl. You not only are most awesome musician, you have made a person I care for very happy. And you apparently are very happy. Blessings!!!
Nous: Must…do…it…again. You all looked so lovely. The food was awesome. The company more awesome. One epoche of this year’s defcon. The lovely ladies of DefCon. How awesome!
Banshee: Third ephoch. You dance wonderfully. I want to spend more time with you next year. Can I follow you around. You have such a happy and sturdy spirit.
Mouse: you know, you make me think and you delight me. Thank you. Thankyouthankyouthankyou. Take care. I so looking forward to seeing you next year. You are one of those who define Defcon. /me bows her head
Renderman and Grey: /me also bows her head. You blow me away. You both have your abilities and those amaze me. I have nothing to give to you that would merit what you give to me, so may I frame the visual I have of you and give it to you? You make my heart happy.
The network boyos: I don’t know why you decided to adopt me at the TBBQ, but thank you! I wish I felt confident enough to bring my enigmas down to meet you this year. Perhaps next year. You guys give so much of yourselves. Thank you. I don’t have any other words to express my appreciation for you. However, I will check out Webster’s dictionary, figure it out and bring you nice drinks next year.
Mattrix-M: your advice to me was awesome. I wish I had decided to banish those hanging around so we could have spoken more about it. You have a wisdom about you that I would like to become more acquainted with. You are very much awesome.
My HackerPimps: You did it again. I love you guys. Nuph said.
EFF crew: what can I say? Thank you so much for allowing me to participate. It was more fun than I have had in ages. I not only got to contibute, I got to have fun as well. I hope I showed up well enough to be able to help again next year. Thank you.
Roamer: thank you. Prime epoche. I am still a bit boggled.
Pixel Farie: you surprised me. You are too much like me. Keep the faith. And don’t let people use you, mk?
Oh my dear mfreeck, you are so wonderful! Thank you for the wonderful pictures and the wonderful conversation. Second defcon epoche for me. Hugs to both you and Con.
LiL-Freak: I loved to see your bright face! I am glad you are well. I wish to come and see you and Hdrush again soon.
Voltage Spike: you freaking rock! Treat that baby well.
Joe: Forgiven. Now you have some other people to make peace with.
AstCell: good friend. Thank you for your care of me when I was ill. You deserve love and care and passion. I can think of a few womenz… :-D
My runners: you all won medals. Now can we find the two we lost?
The boys who decided I was worthy to talk to on Friday night: I can’t remember all of your names, but I thank you for the great conversation! Look me up next year if you decide to come back. I will probably look a bit different; look for the Enigmas and some new fun stuff. And I promise to have categorical justification for my opinions… :-D
Dan K: I have known you since you were in short pants. /me laughs. It gratifies me to see how you have grown over the past couple of years. I agree with others. You have to be one of the most engaging people I have ever met. Continue on.
Neil and Nikita: Hoodlums for Nikita! To say that you both rock pales .
Miss Faye or whoever you are: thank you for making me confront issues I have with people I don’t know very well. I do hope you decide to come back and be who you really are.
Hey ndex, I missed spending time with you. I also missed Cat.
BlackOrchid, you are the most wonderful flirt I have ever met in my life.
And I cannot forget the home keepers, most especially the keepers of these forums. Thank you very much. You know who you are. :-) /me waves at BrokenCbl...Leave a comment:

One of my regrets: Next year I must try this "apple hootch" of which I hear so much. I can bring lead gloves...I am not a computer whiz like most of you, but I am a radiation worker. If I drink too much, I'll use my dosimeter to get out.

Re: DC16 SHOUT OUTS AND BOOS (well, if you must).... (go here)
There are so many people who made my DEFCON amazing this year. I hate to leave anyone out, but to name them all would take all day, so I"ll just focus on the few that were extra special for helping me when I needed it this year.
Joe Grand: For being an amazing co-speaker. I am going to miss you next year.
Lost: Other than just being amazing, for helping me out finding someone to use on stage for my demo. I owe you one! Tell your student thank you again for me.
Nikita: For putting the happy face on my envelope. It made me squee outloud!
Lyn: For not only being my best friend, but helping me out with fact checking everything.
Tottenkoph: For being a constant source of support, bring me bottled water to my talk and giving a great first speech.
DA: For everything.Leave a comment:

Re: DC16 SHOUT OUTS AND BOOS (well, if you must).... (go here)
First, cheers go to all of you whose names I forget every year but forgive me each and every year. You are all still dear to me, I just happen to have the memory of a goldfish.
Woots:
Dallas for an excellent hooch contest. I look forward to next year!
Converge, Alklloyd and Evil - thank you for coming to my rescue after a serious bout of stupidity on my part. I owes ya.
Valkyrie - for being your awesome self as usual. Keep shining.
Salem, DigiEbola and Larry - thanks for the awesome conversations!
DigiEbola, thanks for helping mr. drunk out, even if your efforts weren't appreciated.
Mouse - you just rock.
Renderman and Grey, thanks for letting me tag along and it was great to see you all again.
m33p, also thanks for letting me tag along. Next time I'll do a better job at scaring your traveling companions.
astcell, I concur. I would've loved to have more conversations with you this year.
Goons always do a great job, but the handling of the ungodly line was elegant.
Neil, thanks for being the best boss ever.
BlackOrch, I am sorry I didn't contact you. I would've liked to hang out with you, but you slipped through one of the many cracks at con.
Jiji, thanks for the help with my costume.
The Texans, for being them.
OverDose: I'm sorry we didn't get that drink together. Another time.
Ed: you did a great job, but I'll never admit it to your target.
Great to see everyone again!
Boos:
Me for exercising poor judgement at TBBQ and throwing the whole weekend off.
The Defcon Crud damage: 2 infected ears, infected sinuses and bronchitis. You suck. Next con I think I'll go in a big plastic bubble.
Mr. Lifeguard - I am sorry you have a small penis, but you don't have to prove it by pushing others around.
Mr. MS programmer - call me what I ask to be called. You're getting obnoxious and creepy.Last edited by mfreeck; August 22, 2008, 16:02.Leave a comment:

Re: DC16 SHOUT OUTS AND BOOS (well, if you must).... (go here)
Yays:
Roamer: Your kindness and friendship set the standard for Defcon.
Meee: You were kinda quiet this year but so were others, it was a different year for sure. Good to see you out and about and enjoying the place.
Dallas: Good work on your part, you put more into Defcon than you take, kudos.
Icetre: You are a man on a mission and I love how you bring your ideas to fruition. The Aristocrats owe you a debt of gratitude and I thank you personally for all that you contribute!
AbbyNorml: Love those leggings! You are one of the happiest people at Defcon and it shows.
Amber: Did you get your ice this year? You seemed to be everywhere at once and kept smiling. Always good to see you.
Flea: Thank for calling it what it is at the pool when they closed it. Next year make them empty it due to blood. You never back down and I respect that in you.
CJunky: Send me your pictures!
Deviant Ollam: Thanks for the TTB work!
Jackalope: You were radiant at Defcon! I need to get your sushi bar pictures to you. Good music spinning this year and you will notice I did not laser any balloons. Thanks for being a core part of Defcon. We are all better for knowing you.
Skydog: Well you outdid yourself this year and I have the pictures to prove it. You have no modesty and we love you for it.
Freaky: As usual the IVU booth is taller than the Titanic. Loved the selection of items at the table and the banding you give to the IVU group. Sorry I could not make it to sushi but duty called.
Uncle Ira: SEAL radios and patent leather mini-skirts. Only you could have those! It is always a pleasure to roost through your tables year after year.
Bartender: Hey my friend, you are a standard against which others are measured. Keep up that devotion and energy. We look forward to it yearly.
Hacker Pimps: Awesome party. Love that you had different sections for different events. Loved being a part of it. Now what shall I do with al these pictures? Give me a hosting site please and I will upload them to you!
6407 group: Great party! Loved the lasers, drinking, chats and testosterone bragging. look forward to it next year.
Alklloyd: Thanks for the shirt and your time at Peppermill. Glad you are doing well and thank you for the honorary 404 membership.
Hackajar: Do you ever sleep? Whatever keeps you going, you need to bottle it. Good times!
Valkyrie: Your donation of the OLPC XO to EFF was very generous. Thank you for bringing Lady Ada Lovelace for viewing as well. I cannot imagine a Defcon without your input. Your humbleness and desire to stay out of the spotlight simply make you shine that much brighter.
TBBQ: This went off great! Loved the cooking challenges, that rickety old bus, the fact that cops never bothered us and we were able to stay relatively quiet. For so many people it is good that we have the room for us all. At this rate we will be larger than Defcon in 10 years. Good work all!
Not5150: You need to party more! I saw you more at Blackhat. Relax for Defcon!
Renderman and Grey Freq. : You two look awesome! Good to see you happy and smiling.
Chosen1: Thanks for your thoughts of me while I was overseas. You exude kindness and you are a good friend.
Mouse: You have my vote for your talk! And you have everyone else's vote too even if I have to change it! You are a little Spitfire and your energy is addictive. Thank you for being part of Defcon and sharing your knowledge with us minions. It is an honor to know you.
Riverside: Loved the wall of sheep, thanks for all the work involved. I watched you set up and doubt many know what you go through to make it happen!
Faye the hooker-fed: I missed your picture at Quark's but you gave us lots to talk about. While you get razzed on the forums you can chalk it up to being new, it happens. At least you didn't being being a pool girl.
Ozone: Thanks for the crash space At Blackhat and one day at con. I appreciated it and hope to see you again next year.
BlackOrchid: Wild Thing! I took lots of great picture of you, and you were smiling in every one of them. Great to see you at poolside and enjoying yourself. Thanks for all the advice you tossed my way too.
Bascule: It was so interesting ti hear you wax poetic at the Riviera Bar. I was almost not sure it was you! Good to see you!
PixelFairy: Nice talking to you at Quark's the last night. The place was nutty and we need more time next year.
Lil_freak: You were a little pinball with all your running around. Good to see you even when it was just a blur going by.
mfreeck: Keep up the good photo work! I wish we had more time to talk photography but there is always online. Good to see you!
Queeg: Hey my friend, thanks for leaving the poster at home and sparing the unwashed masses. Glad you are doing well!
Gruffy and Julia: Glad you made it out to Defcon! I knew you could do it, you have the fire in you to be there. Now, plan for next year so it is not so worrisome!
Dan Kaminsky: If I peeled the skin off of Barney the Dinosaur I think you would be under there. You are one of the most animated people I know and you make time fly by. If you want to do a skit of "Barney the Dinosaur explains Quantum Mechanics" you have my vote.
GodMinus1: You look better in a dress than I do. Thanks for keeping us on our toes and thinking.
Mage2: We needed more time to talk but I am glad we had what we had. The place ran nonstop and you are one of the things that keep it so.
JustaBill: I am so glad I don't have your butt.
Boos:
The guy who closed the pool because he felt he was being ignored (the party is about the hotel guests, not the employees!).
To those I forgot: Blame it on Kyle! have you seen him? He is about this high....Leave a comment:

Re: DC16 SHOUT OUTS AND BOOS (well, if you must).... (go here)
Everyone who came to Quarks Tuesday night. The Trekkies were there in droves but we still managed to carve out a space after a large table was opened (thanks to dr. kaos). The last warp core breach....
Sulu: passed him on my way out of the hilton buffet the next day.
GM1: Sorry I missed Sushicon...you did a great job on the TBBQ. Sorry I can't remember that great looking dark haired girl you were talking to at the Riv bar later...
Londo: great steak
A.S.T.Cell and Valkerie: Peppermill was a great meal, sorry I missed the goonswim (i think)
DC404: the most talks, the best t-shirt, and the largest raid on In'n out Sahara I've ever seen (1 limo, 4 taxis)
CP: My favorite bartender of the con...he had what plants crave
Abby/iceTRE: for hanging in there and running winn out right before i got there
Strange visitors from a distant country: Renderman and GF; you have to respect a man who can track 802.11* with his mind.
People I didn't see much: Ashley, Meee, Xodia, Noid, Flea, Queeg, Skroo, Highwiz, Thorn, Cotman
Three Riv security guys who were threatened by my pants came to my room 10:30 am Sat: "Due to the nature of this conference some people were concerned". On the 23rd floor, my pants were hanging out the window maybe 8 inches to dry. Wow, a lot of free time there.
Riv Security also asked to buy a DC404 t-shirt the next day. Mouse: So good to see you at Quarks and then later...
Props to DC404, most presentations and the best shirtLeave a comment:
