First off, thanks for starting this thread, George!
I initially had considered attending this year, as my plans were to visit family in San Francisco, CA and also celebrate my upcoming fortieth birthday on the 13th of March. However, over time, I just didn't feel that it'd make sense, with a relatively short stay visiting, so I too won't be making it out, sadly. Also, wanted to let folks know that I connected with Dean in one of his recent streams, and he said the event location and venue're too costly for him to attend.
Hopefully, whoever's going to be putting things together'll be able to make the event available to the many of us remotely, via stream. All the best to those attending and organizing things!
