      I've heard that a lot of people think that they cannot make it next year as it conflicts with Halloween with their kids 😞

      I will be able to come, but I will have to arrive on Nov1. Thinking to possibly stay on till the 5th instead of coming back on the 4th. But likely it will turn into a return on the 4th.

      Cool. I'm trying to see if we can figure out a way to put on something small on the 4th to give people who stay in town something to do that day and something to have work be happy about.

      We are thinking that I will get in on the 31st and @dominica will come later on the evening of the 1st. But I'm sure that we will stay to the 5th.

            Those dates are going to be difficult for me because of Halloween but if I do make it it wouldn't be early.

              I've sadly heard a lot of that.

                Halloween is on a Monday, so most people will not be out super late anyway with the kids having to get to school the next day.

                I foresee a lot of people arriving Tuesday afternoon and departing on Thursday night for 2016.

                Assuming nothing major changes and I come as normal, I will have to catch a 9am flight out of O'Hare which puts me in Austin about 12pm on Tuesday the 1st. I will get a later flight out on Friday so the wife can pick up the kids after school before coming to pick me up. But that will still not leave tons of time for anything on Friday except the Grey Breakfast.

                  I still don't see why this is an issue. The Tuesday will probably just be the useless app workshops anyways, so who cares if you miss those?

                    The pre-day has gotten to be a big deal. Tuesday of this year was already quite busy with tons of people in town and Wednesday had the big brunch and has become the biggest party day. All of that would be missed by people trying to get to Halloween activities. It's a pretty huge deal if you look at how it would have impacted people this year.

                        Code doesn't work. Is it one of those BS codes only for returning attendees?

                          It was a one-day only code for 99$ tickets. It is one of the those early bird specials they do every year. You're stuck with paying 199$ now.

                              It sucks as it only counts DURING the event when no one has time to sign up.

                                Except people who aren't there... which I think it one of the reasons they do it. People watching the stream are a great captive audience for this type of thing.

                                Agreed though they should at least have it available for 5-7 days after the event.

                                  I signed up while they were giving away the prizes so I wouldn't forget.
                                  The promise to return all but $5 if I have to cancel my trip at least a week before the event was pretty nice too.

                                    That's a fair wack of cash just for entry (Exchange rates are killer).

                                      That is still very inexpensive compared to a lot of other technical conferences.

                                        The Australian dollar is stronger than the US dollar, though, right?

                                          To get there, I think FedEx or DHL is the cheapest

                                            In years past the code had worked until the day after. One year (2013 I think) there was such talk about it that they extended it two days.
