I'll be there. Primary motivations include
1)      Face-to-face (with the occasional alternate mode of
face-to-in-your-face) interaction with the HP people who make my life
easier, or who aren't yet doing so and need motivation.
2)      Face-to-face (or the alternative) interaction with other HP users.
3)      The chance to hang out with substantial numbers of computer hacks,
geeks, weenies, and other digito-centric types.
4)      The Seattle-area weather in March/April frequently blows large.
