I'm not able to make it this year, and I know the event hasn't even started yet, but it occurred to me to say thanks to Howard and the other organizers of WCC2005 for making this event happen. I just know that those who could make it are gonna have a fantastic time!
Besides that, the fact that we've now had 2 in a row goes a long ways towards there being more WCC events in future years. I am planning that I'll be there next year in Portland and this year I'll just settle for being there in spirit. I at least got to have lunch with part of the East Coast Caravan and that was cool!
Thanks for all your hard work guys! I hope that the organizers get to actually enjoy what they've done!
