Is anybody else going to WWDC??? It would be cool to meet some of you in person! As I am a student developer (ADC), and I was lucky, I got a scholarship for the cost of the convention - but I still have to pay for hotel, transportation, etc. Looking forward to the so-called "fireside chat" with the big SJ. So.. who of you will I get to see as well?

How much is it? I live in DC, but have never gone. It would be nice to see SJ, but I would rather just make money and watch it via quicktime...

Mitchell out...

Wow... nobody is going apparently. I shall be all alone.

The cost for a ticket is $1600, plus you gotta get yourself there and hotel rooms are highway robbery in California. You have to be associated with the ADC, but that's no biggie - a free online membership will suffice.

WWDC = World Wide Developers Conference, I don't think it's actually held in DC... I could be (probably am) wrong on this.

Sweeeet. Yeah, I'll be at the Convention Inn, Hawkeye. Should be getting in.. oh, 1pm Saturday. This is SO cool.
"What is the question???"
From the Student WWDC info pages: "All your Tuesday Night are belong to us." Hehehe.
Too bad I won't be able to surf the boards down there (at least I don't think so =/ ).
1600 bucks?
Yeah, not too likely I (ever) would go if not for the nifty scholarship. Or maybe after I graduate I can get a job somewhere that will pay my way there. Hm.. gotta keep that in mind.
