The Scale boat seemed to have fewer people on it than past years.

If that is true, it means it was fatter people than in years past. They were past capacity and had to turn people away and a couple sneaked on after they had closed for capacity as it was. And at least three couldn't make it because they had someone unable to make the trip as quickly as possible. So they weren't just over boat capacity, but had many attempt and fail to get on the boat.

but I think they've been "at capacity" every year. They make a big deal of it being first come first serve.

Yeah, we were talking about fatter people in the lower level - mind you it was heavy people doing the talking, not me.

I was on the lower level of the boat, were you talking about me?

I might suggest you look at some conferences in Florida. I know VMware was talking about one in Tampa maybe in the past few months perhaps? I'm pretty sure Microsoft has one coming up in the next month or two in Orlando as well, and I want to say I heard there is to be a Linux-centric conference also in Orlando before years' end.

Sorry for the lack of names, just rattling off what's on the top of my head.

LOL. And they are bound to be SUPER cheap now!

Give us a month or so to get back to normal, please. A Lot of places still don't have power yet.

Yes, it is very disappointing - particularly because I've been a few times and look forward to it as a venue to see all the UK and Euro friends I've made through the Spiceworks community.
Booking way in advance I am able to save $500 - $700 on my plane fare. I was asked to email the event organizers because I had already made travel bookings, so I did. We'll see what they end up doing to help folks in my situation.

Wasn't that (the artist formerly known as) Prince's excuse?

It is your birthday.

I cut my pumpkin in half and then steamed it. Then I scraped out all the pumpkin goodness and separated the seeds. I took the shell and put it outside for the squirrels.

I seasoned the cooked pumpkin with olive oil, salt, and pepper. It was tasty!
