I'll be at ISEA too, on a panel on 19th with Jill Scott and the Z-Node (great people!!!) and later on 22nd talking about Freecoin.ch and DYNDY.net with Stephanie Rothenberg and others.
I'd love to meet you in person John, hope you can make it! and share with me and Felipe some survival techniques in USA ;^) - my first time in it is running as we speak, so far so good and this new hipster fashion is not even the worst thing that could happen to it.
Once in New Mexico we could organize a Bricolabs visit to the Pueblo indian homes carved in the mountains
