The time is nigh
Tomorrow, Tuesday, is the last day to send in registration for the ACES conference and still pay the early rate. It just needs to bear a postmark of Feb. 8.
Want to know why you should go? Read this and this.
Southwest has some great deals on flights to LAX, including $39 one way from Oakland. I was going to drive but at these rates it's just as easy to fly ... I did the math and figured out that gas and parking would cost as much as roundtrip airfare.
Alas, I fear I'll pay a bit more than that to get out there -- but it doesn't look as bad as it could. I found flights for a little more than $200 round-trip. That's not too shabby.
Does anyone envision much driving to be necessary?
