Thanks and Sorry's Thread (please add)

[Shalome]

Thanks to...

Hektik.org and 303 for another year of good times

Pezz for organizing the "unofficial girls meet-up," which let me meet some cool people

Dan Kaminsky for giving yet another cool talk (and for taking the time to chat with me on Saturday night)

The guy who gave me a free "Dogcow says MOOF" shirt on Sunday for no apparent reason

AP Housekeeping Staff, who left their master key in our room accidentally (kidding, kidding, they came and took it back before we even knew it was there)

The people throwing the Ninja shots into the pool on Sunday

Anyone who bummed me cigarettes when I was out

All the Goons, speakers, and organizers that made the whole thing happen

All the interesting people I met -- conversations are my favorite part of the con

[[Syntax]]

I dunno but this year seemed alot calmer than the last few.

Thanks Renderman for the Ribs at the BBQ,

Thanks to Moloch.org, I got 1 drink just as the party ended.

And whoever had the bucket of screwdriver at the pool, that was the one
drink that actually hit me.

Sadly, aside from the BBQ, the two drinks mentioned above were the only ones I had at the con.

Was I in the wrong place or was it deader than usual this year?
I didnt even get any party photos.

There is no way I can cover everyone and I know I will miss one important dude and realy piss him/her off. But off the top of my head...

Che's thank you list.

Holy shit.. where do I start. This was my fourth Defcon, and my best so far.

I have to start out with a big thanks to Siviak and Kaddydid (AKA "Bro" and "Momma") for opening up the house and taking care of me. It just goes to show that no matter how far west you go, you can still find good ol' southern hospitality. I have to admit, that was the best breakfast I have had in ages. Please let me know when you guys make it through my area so I can return the favor.. mi casa su casa.

Everyone and myself that tried the homebrew owes a big thanks to Jim. He carted the beer all the way across the country, keeping it cold and tasty for us to enjoy.

Dataworm and bascule for being good roommates. DW, I gotta make it up north so we can hit the town again.

Godminusone for the idea of sushicon and working with me to make it happen. We are defanitly doing that again next year!

Cygnus for the ride to the airport, hooking us up with his Sam's card for the Toxic BBQ, hanging out, etc.

Converge for the masterminding the ToxicBBQ, and mfreeck for the pick-me-up when the ol' sugar bottomed out. Sorry I lost all of the pics when you guys announed the engadgement.. :( Thanks for making us a part of that.

Freshman for giving me the hat off his head within 5 min. of meeting him and holding my stuff for the goon swim.. HELL of a great guy, damn glad we met. You are one of the coolest folks I met at the con, I wish we could have hung out more.

Octalpuss for the dance at the Hoffbrauhous.. glad I got to carry you back to the AP again this year. That is becoming a new con tradition for me! :p

McGruff for the book. Thanks a ton, and damn glad I got to see ya again this year.

Renderman for the 31337 ribs, HOPE, and just getting to hang out. I said it before and will say it again, you are the coolest guy I know.

Noid for having me on Goon staff this year. Thanks to all of the goon staff for making me feel like I was a welcome part of the team. Great job guys!

HighWiz and Stitch for letting me hang out in the room the convo, and the beer.

B-Side for being a great goon partner. Great convo, and a hell of a great guy.

DC 719 and 303 for the booze, and for letting me hang out a bit.

Ndex for the salmon, the batteries, and the beer. (And for going easy on me when I offered to be her slave for the batteries)

Blossom for the convo.

LadyG for the hugs.

Ck3k for being a good sport about getting his laptop 0wned, and twinkvega for being a good sport about me messing with him.

Londo for the rid to the BBQ, Kry0nik for the ride back.

Spahkle for helping poolcon end in a civil manner.

Flea for the booze and the convo. Was damn good seeing you brother.

Cotman for the beers, the key and the trip to the locksmith (thanks for the ride, L0st!). Damn glad we got to meet, you are a hell of a cool guy. (and not NEARLY as long winded in person!)

My only "I'm sorry's" are to the folks that did not get to try my homebrew this year.. (especially noid and CHS.. ) This was the second year in a row that Noid missed out.. let me know dude and I will send you a bottle or 3. !!
I hope everyone got a good sample of the beers and enjoyed them. Sorry to the folks that missed out.

Also, sorry to the folks I did not get to hang out with as much this year.
Skroo: bummer that you got sick and missed it this year.. hope to see you next year.

Ok.. it is late as fuck, and the beer is kicking in. I know I forgot some folks, and I will go back and add to this later. Just because I did not mention you does not mean that I did not enjoy being around you or am ungrateful for beer, etc. that you gave me. There is litterally too many of you great folks to mention. I truly wish I could see you folks more than once or twice a year. Hopefully I will be able to move to NW or SoCal and get to see you folks more.
