i am dustin diaz

I want to go to @Media 2006

Speakers like Dan, Eric, Molly, Jeremy, Stuart, Simon, Peter, Tantek, Andy, Jon, Roger, Dave, Veerle... holy crap - they're all gonna be there! But damn, 395 GBP?!! I hope they're importing fresh beans directly from columbia for those coffee breaks. That's $684 USD per delegate for a two day event. Then again... look who's going. And hey, when am I going to be invited to speak guys? I wouldn't mind bouncing around idea's with Roger about CSS3, or chattin' it up with Jeremy on progressive enhancement with JavaScript. Maybe they can stick me between Stuart and Simon on the topic of DOM Scripting: The next level. Really. I need to be there. Even if that means spending all my ad money from Y!PN to get there. Fact is, I just want to kick it with the folks who love this stuff as much as I do. The one's who still think all this stuff is still cool and worth getting excited over. I want to hear it from the one's who think on the enterprise level. I'd like to hear what Ian has to say about accessibility on a level suitable for Yahoo!. How does a team go about doing that? I'd like to hear Molly's thoughts on how to Internationalize websites without forfeiting the brand. Or what Dan's ideas are on creating bullet proof websites within legacy code? I want to know it all. I'd like to know these things whether or not they're out of my scope. In a way, I feel like most of these folks are family even though I've never met with any of them. It's like I was bread from a cow that produced all these wonderful developers - but Mama is one tit short to spread the love.

All things being said, save a ticket for me guys. I'll find one way or another to get there.
