I'll be there for sure. I haven't missed one yet, it's always a good show.

I'll be attending too I think, haven't been to one yet so hoping it leans toward hands-on rather than display only.

If we have 3-4 ppl attending I'll give it a miss, was planning to catch up with friends etc but the timing couldn't be worse, and I don't really want to travel 7hrs for a conf, then another 9 the week or so after.

If you need me there I'll go, but somehow I doubt you will ^_^
