Re: STC conference experience

[Andrew Plato <intrepid_es -at- YAHOO -dot- COM>]

I can think of only one reason to attend. There is this presentation called
"Estimating and Bidding Freelance and Contract Projects." It should be really
cool.  It is presented by this egotistical jerk, Andrew Plato. I hear he is
going to fold space and eat live hamster in the presentation.  It also promises
to be an hour of thrills and chills as Andrew discusses the adrenaline filled
world of estimating projects.  Nude attendees get a free bag of plastic stuff.

Personally, most conferences are a bore.  But it's a great excuse to get out of
the office and meet people.
