I'm pretty bummed on the lack of an NYC event (or greater Northeastern US for that matter).

Amtrak trains go straight into Washington DC. People take the train down for events in this area all the time.

Washington is not close enough?

Hey, they totally stole our schtick! http://developer-day.com/

Though we're only doing one city at a time...

I'm wondering how many people will wear the suggested identity t-shirts. As cool as wearing your internet identity on your chest is, I'd kinda rather go in regular clothes + a nametag.

The official site is kinda light on details. I'm not sure I would pay $100 for that, at least not yet.

A conference I can afford! Aside from the celebrity wow, the $99 price tag caught my eye first.

(Not to say that more expensive conferences aren't worth every dollar, but when you're kind-of consulting/running a struggling software/on a ramen diet you have to count your pennies.)

I must be alone in loving to work with people online but not so much in person. I don't think I could handle an event like that. I do love Stack Overflow, I'm happy it gained so many users.
