Message-ID: <64067d7c81e4cf52265f6033be05e2b5@roundcube-imap.mailstore.pobox.com>

Glass Axis (http://glassaxis.org) is a glassblowing studio about 1/2 mile
south of the OSU campus.

If we can get 6-8 people together I think I can talk Glass Axis into
running one of their First Experience workshops for us. Everyone in the
group would get to blow their own glass Christmas ornament or make their
own flower. This is offhand glass blowing -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1xb48Y6EdA - by the way, not sitting in
front of a torch. I've been doing this for 7 years and find it's an
incredibly addictive way to play with silicon. You'll take molten glass out
of a 2400-degree furnace, add colors, blow it and shape it, and in 24 hours
you'll have your own handmade Christmas ornament for your tree at home.

I'll call down tomorrow to get details and see if this is possible, but I
don't think there will be a problem with that. My best guess is that we're
looking at $25-$30 per person, extra ornaments $25 each. The best day to do
this probably would be either Monday or Tuesday. The ornaments take about
24 hours to cool down, so that way I can bring them back to campus in a box
and everyone can get theirs before flying out. The best slot would be
6-9pm, and we probably should be there about 15 minutes ahead to go through
the paperwork and safety lecture.

If you want a better idea of what you'd be doing,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPH4kFYdwuY actually goes through some of
the steps in detail. When the glass is just out of the furnace it's at
about 2400 degrees and runs and drips like honey. The best advice I can
give you when you're starting out is to keep it turning and keep it hot.
Gravity wants to pull your nice round bubble out of shape, and the
surrounding air sucks away heat.

If you've gotten to the bottom of this message and still have questions,
either leave them on the wiki or email me directly, I'll try to answer what
I can. Again, at this point I'm just going on what I've seen in other
beginner C-ball (Christmas ornament) classes and how Public Glass
(www.publicglass.org), my shop, runs things.

I saw this email last night and figured I'd register this morning.
But I just went to the website and saw the headline

  Early Bird Registration Extended to May 14th

Which is it?

All:

It seems that I may have caused some questions about early registration
deadlines.  Originally the early bird registration was published as being
5/1 but due to the payment processing system being down we were flexible
and extended to end of day 5/14.  An email was sent to everyone letting
them know of this extension and an email was sent out last evening
reminding everyone that the early registration was ending soon.  I was not
explicit enough in my wording and it has cause a lot of confusion.

So here is what is happening.

Saturday May 15th, 2010 at Midnight EST or Sunday May 16th, 2010 at
04:00:00 UTC the fee for YAPC will change from $90 USD to $100 USD.

I hope that this resolves all concerns.

Friends,

YAPC is now less than four weeks away.  That means it's time for us  
to tiptoe over and, very carefully, nudge the sleeping beast:

"Uri!  What are we doing for the Arrivals Dinner?"

Of course, we don't have to rely solely on the Social Czar to make  
this decision.

Suggestions from the Columbus organizers are most welcome, as are  
suggestions from attendees who have visited Columbus in the past.

And, as always, suggestions are also needed for the vegan anti- 
arrivals dinner ;-)

Let's have a bit of discussion on the list, so that we can then begin  
filling in details on this wiki page:
http://yapc2010.com/yn2010/wiki?node=ArrivalDinner

Thank you very much.

I think the AntiArrivalDinner is less about finding vegan food and more 
about not really liking the experience of going to a restaurant with 80 
other people.

But I was thinking of going to Hal and Al's 
(http://www.vegguide.org/entry/11354) Sunday night. It's a bar with all 
vegan junk food (deep fried battered avocado!).

which is a good thing since i have been mostly out of the loop this
time! i have been too busy elsewhere to put much energy into this yapc
so far. i am sure it will do fine without much input from me. but i may
get some tuits over the last few weeks.

Sounds awesome. I'm in for the anti-dinner, unless being anti becomes
too popular and I have to go anti-anti on you all.

The anti-anti-arrival dinner is unquestionably where it's at. All the cool
