I am looking at going to this one for a few different reasons, anyone else considering it?

no word yet

right during setup, i never saw it. Sorry about that

I would love to, just could never afford it.

It's looking good for me and the editors making it out for this event.

We may also zip down to la and visit a few company offices. Stay tuned

800 seats sold out in less than two hours.. WOW

So what would you guys like to see as far as coverage from the event?

Would need the go pro for that one

Show us!

great idea thank you!


Question, if we were to have a few extrra seats open in the BYOC area. Would anyone be interested? We are looking at working with one of the sponsors to do a contest

Well the lan has lunch and dinner provided and for 50 bucks you can stay on board in the barracks for the entire weekend. The only cost for someone who would win a ticket would be the 50 for the place to sleep and the flight there and back.
