Big announcement!
Wes Clark is unable to attend VCF East due to health.
Naturally I hit the panic button. Wes, after all, was already our Plan B
after Ted Nelson backed out, also due to personal matters.
But we scrambled really hard in the past two days and landed K. :)

Yep, that does it. I'm going to be there. Seriously, Kernighan and Bell? I plan to
grovel.

Glad you're going, however, Gordon Bell is not. We never said he'd be there ....
we did say we * asked * him to go and that he wasn't available.
Right, I read it wrong. Doesn't matter, I've already done the Expedia thing. I
really wanted to attend, schedules changed, I can get there now, and I just wish I could
bring my 11/15.

Kernighan is on Saturday morning (April 18). Sunday morning's speaker is Bob
Frankston, who programmed a little thing called VisiCalc. :)
Friday is 17 technical classes, free pizza, and the PDP-8 ceremony.
See you there. I'll be the 6 foot 6 geek wandering around with a stunned look on his
face...

Great! From where are you traveling?

I remember it well, we sold VisiCalc on both the pet and apple way, WAY back when. Cool
stuff, and it got me writing 6502 assembler just to keep up with the sheer speed.

Is there a reason why people don't wear name tags at VCF-E? Seems like
an obvious thing (this is a great place to attach faces to names we've
known forever), but no one seems to have them on and I'd feel like a tool
bringing my own and being the only one.

I'll look for you. If you see me first, then please introduce yourself.
