H2K2 Conference
2600's Macki writes in to remind me and everyone else that H2K2 is coming up shortly, with pre-registration closing on Friday. The conference will be July 12-14 in New York City, in the exciting yet inexpensive Hotel Pennsylvania. I could only make the HOPE 2000 conference for one day, but it was quite interesting and it looks like audio from most of the panels is available, or just check out the list of panels for 2002 to see if it looks intriguing to you. And if you read Slashdot, the answer to that is probably "yes".
You can meet all the chicks you want...
which you will neeverrr lay...
We hackin' shit up in the Hotel Pennsylvania...
Such a lovely place,
But no clothing taste...
There's many a room at the Hotel Pennsylvania...
Bring your alibi,

...is $50? I nearly fell off my chair. I guess I was used to conferences in the dot-com boom era and paying $2600 (haha...pun intended) for a 3-day conference.
Seriously contemplating going...if only to do some WiFI war-walking.

Uhh, if you tourists would go somewhere other than Times 'Disney' Square, you'd know that this is the world's leading party town.
On second thought, stay in the little corrals we've built to suck your money out of you, you're mostly too slow and goggle-eyed to walk down a sidewalk without crashing into everyone anyway.
As the world center of financial, artistic, and intellectual activity, we really aren't that dependent on the ameoba-like globs of mullet-bearing, j-crew wearing, Walmart shopping, inbred trogdolytes that come from places like Nevada, anyway.
