See you at ALT.NET

Get ready folks.  History is in the making.  The Earth will shatter.  People will be enlightened.  The sky will rain candy...

Ok, I'll stop now.

As you can see I'm really excited about the ALT.NET Conference going on this weekend.  I'm especially looking forward to (finally) meeting:

• JP Boodhoo
• James Kovacs
• Roy Osherove
• Martin Fowler (seriously!)
• ScottGu
• Justice Gray (I hope you're as good-looking in person as you are on your blog, Mr. Gray)

Sadly, I won't be able to meet Ayende Rahien as he won't be able to make it.  I'm really bummed about that.  Also, there are a ton of folks I've met before that I'm eager to catch up with.  And, of course, I'm really interested in meeting NEW people!  It's amazing the amount of excitement and vigor around this community.

I'll be driving in tomorrow night and should arrive around 8pm, so if you want to meet up for dinner/drinks (or if there is something official going on at that time) then drop me a line at ben {at} scheirman {dot} com.

I'm bringing my wife, however she's not so interested in the ALT.NET stuff.  She's more interested in hanging out, having fun, and (probably) shopping.  Maybe I can get her to attend 1 session, who knows.  Maybe we can get her to stop teaching Spanish and start programming.

See you in Austin!
