Anyone going?

I'll be there.

[johann.dugge]

I'm going as well, yay! Looking forward to all the courses and papers on computational photography, very exciting stuff!!

[rshanks]

Me three!

I'm going to SIGGRAPH and the VisMasters conference... and to the Modo user group meeting just to check it out. I don't currently use Modo.

If anybody is thinking about going, but haven't nailed down a place to stay yet, check out the International Youth Hostel. $24 a night. Yeah, it's a dorm room, but I couldn't afford to go and pay $100 a night.

The hostel is 1.3 miles from the airport and under a mile to SIGGRAPH and VisMasters. If you are still undesided about going, take a look at this Google satellite pic.

See you there - Robert

Robert are you gonna be in the HI Downtown San Diego?! That's where I'm staying as well, definitely see you around then!

[JCAddy]

I think we're staying in some sweet hotel right next to the convention center. It's all paid by the company so I don't mind at all

The only vismasters class that we're taking this year is Jeff Pattons class.

[rshanks]

Great! I look forward to meeting you.

I checked the beachfront hostle and I think it's booked solid until Chritmas. Oh well, the downtown one is closer to everything. I'll be there Aug. 5-12.

I guess I should de-lurk and post some of my stuff so people know something about me.

Hey Hyperballad, that's not fair. Oh wait, Johann and I will come party at your place! See you there.

[JCAddy]

Hey no doubt. You're more than welcome to come hang out as long as you're not some creepball. haha

[rshanks]

I'm a little psyco from staring at the computer monitor for too long, but I don't think I'm up to full creepball status yet.

[johann.dugge]

Thanks for the invite, I'll take it! I'll be in San Diego Friday 3rd till Sunday 12, plenty opportunities then.

[JCAddy]

Hey well just send me a message for contact info while you're here. Johann, I replied to your PM just now.

Maybe we can grab a bite to eat and talk M~R for a while.
