This whole thing does appeal to me somewhat.  And I have never been 
to a LinuxFest before.  Somehow I expected to attend a Perl-specific 
event first.

Still, I will need to know some other details such as when this event 
is and other relevant costs, whether for the conference itself or the 
hotel or the likely cost of gas.

So I'll need more info before I can decide.  Which I'll try to look up.

However, it does seem like a low risk and low cost affair in the 
grand scheme of things.  It's not like I'd be gone for 2 weeks or be 
paying 4 figures.  So for this moment I'd say that I'm 60-70% sure 
that I can go, and will go with you two.

Note: If you're driving, then you may be taking a ferry around Sidney 
or Swartz Bay, which is just a few minutes from where I live, so 
pickup/dropoff should be easy.

Shall we talk about this more at the meeting tomorrow?
