What if you saw Kerry & Mark standing up on stage with them accepting the award?
Of all the Soper moments, I, unfortunately, didn't capture that one.
There's always next year....lol.

What I want to see is how many West Coasters actually make it out to Philly in '13.

In my opinion, the bigger failure to attend is people closer to the conference. Just comb through this thread and witness it.

That little "philly 2013" blurb is also in the program book. Denny, I think I was in a general haze starting with Wednesday night sampling at the Lost Abbey tasting room. It was probably the longest sustained .2+ blood alcohol level I've ever sustained. Woooo!
I now have another t-shirt for Seattle
I'm not calling anyone out BTW.
I'm saying that a plane ride make it prohibitive for some. Those people don't even consider going. Period.
Those that live a car ride away are more likely to say they are going to go and hold on to that intent longer.
Therefore, you'll literally see way more people in the greater Philly area declare they are going and then don't make it for a number of (valid) reasons. I'm sure that happened this year too.
Maybe I'll have a booth next year to sign shirts & other "don't get Sopered" shwag.
I'm saving up for Seattle already! I have it on my calendar for next year. I really wanted to go this year, but life got in the way. I think I'm going to have to go every other year, and not every year, to keep peace in my family.
I've gone to 2008, 2010, and I'll go 2012. It'd be nice if it would be closer to me, like in Chicago, sometime. An expensive plane ticket along with the hotel, and of course the cost of the conference itself has been prohibitive for me. It's about a $1200 weekend, and I go alone. That's tough.
By the way all, the actual location is in Bellevue WA, which is a high tech/financial based city just across the lake from Seattle.
I know that an HBT party at Naked City is Imperative. :rockin:
I think I may have set a record for the least amount of beer ever consumed at NHC! I was definitely at less than 3 pints/day. I guess that's one of the advantages (?) of having heart problems!
