Jan, why not have a think about what you feel you would like to learn and mention it here. Maybe that could go for others that may end up going! I am sure Mark would welcome suggestions.
Mike

Thats a good idea, and I have been thinking.
Exept for some Ruby programming what I want to learn is stuff mostly not existing in current SU.
Like advanced camera path animation (with speed ups and slowdowns), how to model efficiently for export to 3dsMax, dynamic terrain modelling, dynamic roads on terrain and texturing with smooth transitions between different surface materials, working with quads and Bezier surfaces in SU,(hint) and of cause how to work efficiently with heavy imported Revit models in the all new 64 bit SketchUp 2014... (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Looks like you know what you want Jan Maybe some food for thought for the Boulder guys

..... and we missed your jovial ways at the last 3DBC Andrew. Although Oz was well represented by some lunatic riding around on a pink push bike doing wheelies and such

Missed my snoring, huh?

It'll be good to see you again, Andrew. It sounds like I'll have the family along although I expect they'll go skiing all day if they can.

Sounds like fun, but I'll not make it yet again.

So glad I happened by Google+ the other day to see Base Camp 2014 reposted there!
Planning on making the trip, can't believe I missed the last one.

Thanks Mike, yeah, I know Andrew Dwight attended last year so its good to know we kept the beer stocks down.... my daughters birthday is on the 12th of April so I might stumble out of a cab and straight to the first session I'd say!

Snoring???? Dave, I don't think I sleep for the first two nights!! It gave me an opportunity to some cracker farting from you though!!

Probably no outdoor firepit to huddle around at the wee hours of the morning.

True, but since last time we were there something became 100% legal, who needs a fire pit? may need a Cheetos vending machine however.

Unfortunately, there will probably be no outdoor firepit to huddle around at the wee hours of the morning.

However, the UK attendees most likely will find a co-ed hot tub close to a bar to pass the time away.
(try imagining Mike in a speedo).

Here is answer! http://myshreddies.com/ Watch the male TV presenter when the female presenter tried to take his 'Shredie'

Good find, Mike!

There you go Dave; endless good night sleeps again for your wife.....

I'd say a lot of our long suffering wives might well be contemplating Shreddies as Christmas presents for their hubbies
