I will be with Dave this year, but it's not because I am against Uri's event; a genuine YAPC tradition.  All sincere expressions of community should be welcome and, from my perspective most certainly are something I will advocate for; even if I don't participate.

even when the arrival dinner had good veggie/vegan choices the 
anti-dinner had happened. according to dave it is as much about the 
smaller crowd as it is the food choice. and i am fine with it. herding 
100 perl hackers at a dinner is not easy, especially those times where i 
had to collect payment and even worse when i had to pass the hat as we 
under-collected. also the 'anti' prefix was always a joke and i still 
take it that way. it was never a social comment but more like an 
anti-proton. which means if the arrival and anti-arrival dinners ever 
collide, we can make warp speed engines!
