I’d love to go to Roboexotica too, but I don’t think I can go to Europe twice in such a short time span. I’d rather go once and stay longer. Maybe I can come visit you in Vienna before going to Berlin for 26c3!

It’s the week between Christmas and New Year’s, which sets you up perfectly for spending New Year’s Eve in Berlin, which is an experience that shouldn’t be missed in this lifetime.

There’s also Roboexotica, which will be at the end of November. I’ll be spending all of December in Vienna, and can put you up if you’d like to come for Roboexotica, and will definitely be there for 26c3 if you come out for that.

Also: I love conferences. I have better, more intense conversations there than I do in the rest of my life. Maybe one of the things I should try to do is get there to be more of those long, intense, out-of-time conversations? Or maybe just going to lots of conventions is good. :)

Perfect for adrenalin junkies. (Moi, you’re looking at moi?) Seriously, though, there’s an entire social circle I know just from conferences. When they speak, I learn a lot; a couple of them have ended up working with me, or the other way around.
