nlinus Says What

Why I want to go to the PDC... What is a PDC?  Oh is that the developer thing in LA?  Hey, I live close to LA.  I should go...  Wait, why would I go?

1. I'm a new developer. These kinds of events sometimes have stuff that goes right over my head, but I always learn tons of stuff.
2. I just subscribed to MSDN for the first time this week.  Events like PDC are the perfect place for n00bs like me to meet and interact with other professional developers.
3. It's stuff I need to learn. (ASP.NET, WinForms, Office 12)
4. I'm very interested in VSTO and the xml file format for Office 12.
5. IIS 7 is also a topic that has drawn my attention, so I am torn between tracks...

Why wouldn't I go?

1. I just shelled out my last "education" dough for the year by purchasing my MSDN subscription.
2. I can't think of another reason not to go.  I just don't have the bucks.

I suppose I could sell my son:

But the wife would get mad and I hear that's illegal.

Now, how would I share the information I get at PDC?  Through blogging?  Well yes a little, but also with a Special Edition nlinus PDC podcast and video blog. Soundseeing tours of the PDC would be great for people who can't go. Interviews with fellow developers, scoble style.
