It would be fun to go.
Unfortunately, I'm tied to my business.
I used to be able to go to conferences quite regularly. It was fun. I met a lot of interesting people and it was a business expense, so I was able to deduct it. That's when I was developing "shrink-wrapped" software. The nice thing about shrink-wrapped software is that once the package is ready, you just ship it (and you can hire people to do that). I had a LOT more free time.
Unfortunately, Internet piracy has made it unprofitable, so now I have to do contract work (mostly for the manufacturing and media industries) and I can't really get away.
But I hope all the attendees have a great time and I look forward to hearing post-conference impressions.
