Me three! :D

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

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.

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

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. :shock:

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.
