Even though I'm not attending this year, I just want to say for anyone who has doubts about meeting people from the internet, and may be understandlby hesitant, in this case, don't be.
I can tell you that this is a really nice group of people who you'll feel comfortable with right away. I can gaurantee you'll have a nice time.
For especially those on the East Coast, if you're within a reasonable distance from this meet, at least meet for dinner. I'm sure you won't be sorry.
