Well, I wasn't planning on coming to EHX this year but I found a cheap fair and a ride from the airport so I will be there; count me in.

Looking forward to seeing you all again and to meet some new faces as well.

What do people think of trying to mingle at the official EHX After Hours party Thursday evening, then do dinner?

Sounds good to me Dave. Not sure yet on a couple of adds yet. One is building a home nearby (but he's never there) and wants to automate.

Sounds good to me.

The after hours party was a lot of fun last year and the band was awesome!

Free beverage is always nice too.

The social event sounds fun. I am not very social in person but I will make sure I show up early and get a few drinks in to make me relax.

I'm bummed.

I had a bunch of fun meeting WayneW, Steve and Martin at EHX West last fall and was looking forward to hanging out in Florida where I don't have so many other obligations. Oh and not to forget the 54MBit download from Chris and the chance to give him the business about working so much that he doesn't walk the show floor.

vote for "hanging" and come to Florida!

 

[Digger]

Two words: Jury Duty

tel them you need to postpone because of a work obligation. My wife did that in October (shes a teacher) and they changed it to last week which was her winter vacation. She was on "call in" status but lucked out and never had to go in.

Cant hurt to try.

Hey Gang,

I've been somewhat unplugged, but I'll be down for EHX again this year. Have three in my group (Amy, Roger, Me) attending. Would really enjoy catching up and meeting new people again.

Regards,
