Hey all,

Scott McCreary asked me if I was planning to go to SCaLE 11x this year
( http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/ ) and I realized I hadn't
seriously thought about it yet.

It seems it is Feb 22-24th, 2013. This may work out well for me - as I
don't think I have any critical work deadlines at that time.

Furthermore, I'm in a unique situation where I have a large number of
airline points allowing me to fly for essentially "free". I also will
have my Southwest Airlines "Companion Pass" which will allow my wife
to fly free with me anywhere I go next year. This means I could get
myself to/from Southern California for pretty much no cost (well, at
the expense of my points), and my wife can attend with me to help. The
hotel costs appear to be $112/night. An additional $20 for two days
parking at the airport.

I'm thinking the cost for me and my wife to attend will be somewhere
between $250-300, which isn't bad really.

Scott may also wish to attend, and we can probably share a room - I'm
not sure what his additional travel costs will be.

SCaLE is a pretty good show for Haiku - it's definitely worth going IMO.

What does everyone think?
