I guess I'll be the first to say, "mark me as interested/probable for Cow DO VIII."
I had a great time and will pull out all the stops to make it to the next edition.
As always, I'll have to hold off committing until my schedule fully resolves itself closer to the date, but I'll do what I can to keep the weekend clear.

Looks good Alex. I see the events planned has expanded to include a football game. Very nice.
I do not have the time off of work this year for this one, but will keep an eye on awards available for the sat-monday portions. If we can get tickets, i'd like to make the return.
