Good job on finding the article!

See Thorn, I knew there was a reason we kept you around even after missing my talk

Yeah. "Phear my Google skillz."

By the way, I'm honored. Chris says you don't give the to just any guy.

If only I can convince the wife...

It depends on how she feels hanging around a a three day event that's all tech and some heavy partying. I'm pretty sure my wife was happy to have me go without her.

Well, I figure if I go, it will just be me.

but how will you tell your wife your going to las vegas without her?! hookers, drugs, sex, gambling... she wants into all the fun too! Maybe if you stay at different hotels?

She could go along, but she would not likely be interested at all with DC. And if she went along, she'd want to spend the time with me. So she'd probably let me go alone knowing it wouldn't be worth it for her to go along anyways.

Ok, if it helps my wife has gone to the last two defCons with me and is attending this years also and in fact I have grown comfortable enough with the dc croud to to also bring my 5yr old daughter and soon to be newborn and my daughter is the only one besides me that enjoys computers, the wife could really careless. She just comes to show her support and because she loves me!

DefCon reminds me of the population of last Metallica concert I attended.

Lots of beer and alcohol, modest moshing in the pit, nudity near the pit, "adults" on the field, but not in the pit, and parents with kids in the stadium seats.

Fast forward 20 years, and there will be DefCon people riding around on modified Larks with demands for ADA compliance in the hotel and a pharmacy located right next door to a liquor store. There will also be a bunch of old farts sitting around saying, "Back in my day, we had 2GB of RAM on personal computers and we liked it!"

Look through other threads and you can learn by example. Posting is like playing chess through the mail-- timezones and scheduling need not prevent the "game" from being played (even if slower than it could be.)
