LUGM99

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

I was thinking about going to LUGM (Lisp User Group Meeting) 99 in San 
Francisco, Oct. 10-13.  Anybody else here going?  Anybody been at
these things before?

Guy Steele is the keynote speaker, so that sounds OK, at least.  And
that's all the schedule they have up at their site now.  :-)

As long as you are going to be in the states, you should make the grand
tour!  Come to seattle, new york, etc.

Could be fun I'spose. Of course traveling around the country isn't
free either. For example a flight from SF to Seattle would probably be 
around $200 or so.

Nah... we get them for less than that all the time for our developer that
lives down there. :)

If you're coming from abroad, there used to be a fare called VUSA
(Visit USA), which gave you three internal flights for something like
$150. Of course, that's probably all changed, but there might be
something comparable.

I appear to be *one* stinking trip to Sweden away from being able to pay
for a return ticket as far as Seattle with SAS Eurobonus-points.  Oh
well... (Hey, an excuse to go to Disneyland is an excuse to go to
Disneyland.)  (And, I want to be able to buy my own appartment this
year...  Yeah, I might just have those 110 hours of overtime paid out in
full.)

Of course, I'm tempted to drive to SF (I'm about 2 hours away) just to 
buy you a beer if you come ;-)

Let's have a beer bash!  We can invite all the Gnus users living close to
San Francisco (ppl from all over the world can join if beer means so much)
;-) 

We all wear the Gnus cap and Gnus t-shirt (were there Gnus pants?) that
night of course.

Wes, Davis is really not that far aways from SF!
