I'm also hoping that Kevin Pinto can attend. I'm sure many of us would like to thank him in person for the things he has done to help out many of us.
(Hope this won't set off a little storm like when I hoped DeltaWebDev could come. DeltaWebDev was kind of the initiator of the 2009 event, though due to a lot of circumstances was not able to carry through with it. Fortunately atldlff and Canarsie made it happen!
Also note, we have a lodging update above (Canarsie beat me to it). Free Internet!
