Curious?

A hands-on type conference/play-date, all in one, in May. I know at least a few other people are coming, but I don't know who, and I think there is still room for more.

It might be useful for them to put the city that the museum is in somewhere on the front page. I had to go to the registration sheet to find out where it was hidden at.

I am going! Looks like a lot of fun, plus I've never been to St Louis. I understand there is a weird guy who lives there, but, hey, where isn't there?

Yet another egregious bump. We are going to drive and take our time. Time to make hotel reservations. Any recommendations?

This has dropped in price to about the cost of dinner out, for an entire day of entertainment and education and fun.

Plus, some great people are going to be there!

That includes me. Although I am not speaking.

If everyone is nice to me, I'll show you a pub about 5 blocks away that has 57 beers on tap.

Right. Some great people are going to be there, and Scrut is too!


ETA: Sigh... now I feel bad because I'm being snarky about Scrut for absolutely no reason. But I don't want to delete my post, so please, Scrut, could you do something for me to be snarky about?
