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.

If they sell out all 1,500 tickets it definitely doesn't make you alone in that preference...

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

I would like to know who the speakers are first. I know, it's more important to meet fellow Stack Overflow folks, but I meet geeks all the time in the Bay Area. "Six great speakers in each city" could be anybody.

Ditto. I'd much rather go to a Hacker News event generally. Despite covering a wide range of topics, there's something a bit proprietary/Microsoft-y about Stack Overflow that I can't put my finger on. Besides, I much prefer the wider range of non-programming stuff HN covers :) Thumbs up for HN events!

You can always get a full refund at any point in time. The London event is already half sold out and Joel announced it today (no post on blog.stackoverflow.com or carsonified.com yet either).

um ok. Thanks for the heads up ... ... Kind of odd that Jeff Atwood is only going to one of the things isn't it?

Seconded. Is there a list of local HN meetups anywhere? Or an informal process for announcing or setting one up?

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

Agreed, a NYC or Boston conference would be good.

He's got a newborn son now so he probably want to limit travel for the time being. Just a guess though.
