Acully we made it to NJ in 5 hours once, of course we where doing over 100 mph on the highway about the whole time. :).

I'd love to, but I doubt i'll have money for a plane ticket :(

Let alone the price...yeesh, the priciest one is over $1000 :eek:

I tried calling, but no one answered. So, I sent an e-mail asking for some info. Now, I'm just waiting....

I will go, the student discount is 50% off the regular fee.

Sounds pretty expensive, I would go if I had that kinda money, and if I was above 18.

New York City? Psshh, I'll be there! I might have no money and live on the whole other side of the country near Los Angeles.. but I'll be there! somehow...

What is this thing anyway.. like, what things revolving around PHP do they discuss, and how can the average guy like me benefit from going to one of these?

Also, are there any booth-babes like an E3 expo? ;)

edit: never mind, answered my question (that is, concerning the purpose of the PHPcon)

Damn.. I sure wish I could attend this thing.. long tutorials by experts of PHP.. it would be awesome. *starts to plot how to somehow accumulate the airfare and admission*

Hint: I bet it will be a bunch of boring lectures and propoganda about the all-godly PHP5. I also have the awful feeling that they'll completely make PHP blow by making it more OO. That's what makes me vomit when I hear somebody say "Java."

(yes I like overstating things a bit ;))

One would only assume. :p

Also, I haven't recieved an email from the organizer yet about the discount so I'm going to email Linux Magazines assistant editor about it. He's answered my question about PHPCon in the past. ;)
