If anyone here is going to be there, can I sweet-talk you into picking up registration materials and buying an event shirt for me? I’ll pay for shirt and shipping, and you’ll have my undying gratitude. 
This is kind of a bummer: the Doctor and I were planning to road-trip up (it would’ve been our first vacation in I don’t want to think about how long). Registration was done, and everything looked set.
Less than 24 hours later, the car was in the shop for serious front-end damage thanks to a hit and run, and D’s work computer died. So much for travel plans.
I’m going to reach out to the coordinators as well, but I figure that it never hurts to have a belt-and-suspenders approach. And if you’re going, have fun!
