I wish I still did because *really* want to come to the conference. Unfortunately, I can't make it, so I'll have to rely on second-hand reports to follow the action. :-( Perhaps the next RubyConf can be in Saint Louis -- being in the middle of the country makes it equally accessible to most everywhere... and especially since I'd would definitely be able to attend! :-) Curt
