DefCon 18 - are you going?

I'll be going to Defcon again this year and was curious if anyone else here will be attending. I'd be keen on grabbing a beer with some other HBHers

Wish I could, but unfortunately this is another one of those "age" things :(

wow, you like 16! even if you could go there is like a big ass payment thing just to get in!

It's really not that expensive, IIRC last year's fee was 140$ and the badge was included. You do have to pay in cash tho

Is that a question? Those usually have "?"'s at the end.

As samurai mentioned, it's not that much.

Take pictures.

I wish

I'm planning on it since I missed the last 3 yrs. We'll see how things go in the next week or so.

and they'd better be damned good ones too.

@korg - let me know what you decide, if you end up going we can link up at some point

@spyware/fuser - i'll do my best, tho I'm not a big fan of cameras…

I'm probably going in 2-3 years when I can actually raise that type of money without spending half my stash.

I'll be getting in late tomorrow evening (sometime after 2200, local time) and will be staying at the Riv. Anyone else end up deciding to go?

I hope you've booked stuff with fake names and all. I heard attending defcon is autolisted at CIA and whatnot.

lol, i'm not sure that's actually true. the con itself doesn't keep track of who comes. All tickets are sold cash only, with no receipt so as to keep things anonymous.

my guess is belonging to HBH is more likely to get you on a list than going to defcon.

As requested, pictures and a short write-up of the con on the psych0tik blog: http://blog.psych0tik.net/?p=359

holy shit retro computers. I just got a boner just seeing that.

Damn I wish I would have been there, Oh well next year!

Looks like it was fun :) Glad you took some pics.
