I wish I were there!  My new job in Washington, DC is limiting my travel, 
and is redirecting most of it back down to Florida.  When I'm making money, 
I have no time to travel.  When I have time to travel, I'm not making money 
to pay for it.  Oh, Cruel Universe!

Sometimes I think Spike accomplishes more networking, communications, and 
planning than the big official events!

Horrors!  These can't be the same Extropians from Extro-5, then!  At least I 
think everybody was drinking heavily.  Maybe it was just me.  Maybe I 
hallucinated them all.  (I did think that pink elephant costume looked 
pretty realistic....)
