I could offer my house and Grill for a Grill night. Rojo and I might be fighting for grill time.
Depending on how many people show for the conference.... -

Anyone from the west coast, especially out of Portland going? I am considering it.

Don't know of anyone else from Oregon yet. I know that @Obsolesce is San Diego and @wrx7m is Oxnard. I know that Ob is attempting to make it at least.
@Romo is coming and is west coast, but farther south. As is @MarigabyFrias. Both are very close to the Pacific coast.

Is there any cost for bringing a guest? I would love to bring the wife. I doubt she would be interested in the tech, just a vacation.

I was wondering about that as well. I'll probably be bringing the girlfriend unit if I'm able to attend.

Google maps used to tell me how long it would take to get to the US routed via Indonesia, Japan, Hawaii, and landing in Washington state... by Kayak. I think it used to be 3 months(?).
Now it's boring and won't tell me. Sorry, we could not calculate driving directions from "$Location "to "Dallas, Texas, USA"
Google: no longer the source of all knowledge.At least Google tells me the distance and flight time... unlike busted Bing: The distance between one or more waypoints is too long to calculate directions. Try getting directions for shorter distances.

@nadnerb Right? It used to tell you to get from China to Japan via jetski, but...unfortunately...it is no longer entertaining. It is just a tool, in both sense of the word.

We hadn't really thought about this yet, because let's face it, nobody's main squeeze was interested in going to Rochester, NY

@dominica Never been to Rochester, but already believes that DFW is a wee bit more appealing than Rochester.

I'm not convinced.

Come check for yourself.

It's more like Austin than you might think. It's actually a very cool town. But not all that big.

Not really sure they would have ANY interest in going, even it was in an exotic location. Because then they would want to be out on the beach and not in some IT thing.

I know at least one spouse came to Rochester during MangoCon and did touristy things while the IT talks were happening. Can't remember who it was off the top of my head right now.
I don't know if Houston would be more attractive for doing the touristy stuff or not. 2019 will be the first time I'll have been in Houston other than waving while I drive by in a truck.

Isn't Niagara Falls close to Rochester? (haven't looked at the map yet, so don't hate!)

1-2 hours away depending on how you drive.
