Wow! I'm new to the forum and had no idea this conference existed! Sounds like fun (scary though). Never been out in public, but always dreamed of a place like this conference. There used to be a hotel for CDs somewhere in England but it closed down before I mustered the guts to go. This is a bit further away from Spain and would require to use some holiday time, plus explanations to the family (wife and kids), but it does sound great!
For now i'll just dream about going, maybe next year with a bit of planning? I'd see myself with significant difficulties to get out of the hotel room. Most of you look terrific, but my face would give me away immediately.
In any case, great discovery! Are there any other similar events anywhere else? I've resigned to make a trip for one of these events, but the closer the better (also in terms of days off and explanations...)
