I will also bring a router, a switch and a box full of cables, just in  
case anyone needs them. I'll also bring my B'Berry, which I can tether  
to my laptop, though Verizon's vaunted "high speed" is not all that  
fast. It IS a lot faster in Colorado than here in Wyoming, where data  
rates are measured in bytes per fortnight.

Actually, I don't see why I would need net access. I think a pair of  
ears and a notepad (paper type) will probably be all I need.

I don't need table space, though it would be nice. I can write on my  
knees pretty well.

Also looking forward to a fun and informative evening.
