Basecamp 2018
-
I am still on the fence about this Basecamp. Funding and timing are issues. I have a kid going to college in the fall.
Like Pete I got less out of the last one than previous. 2010 was the best in my opinion.

I'm only 255 miles from Palm Springs (~5 hours by car) so I don't have any excuse to not go (Unless Rich O'Brien isn't coming).
~$1200 for the motel for the week and $500 for the 3-day sessions isn't too bad considering it will be our vacation for the year (and the Marriott Desert Springs Resort is an awesome place to stay). I'm sure my wife will have plenty of things to enjoy while I'm "Camping".
Sorry to see that Solo will be absent

I'll be going for both Boot Camp and Basecamp. Looking forward to meeting some folks I've only dreamed of meeting like Box and Cotty.

My list is slightly different: Dave and Box
(and others of course)

Can I ask that some who is going suggests a price reduction for 2018 and beyond. If they are going to remove Make it is reasonable to reduce the price and get more bums on seats. I totally understand the reasons for deleting Make from the lineup. Fixing some of the well known older problems would be nice too but that is unlikely. I hope those who go have a great time too.

Ha you mean Enigma?
If anybody is renting a car or what not from LA>Palm Springs let me know, I will gladly pay for petrol and what not, saves me a 7 hour bus ride.

Just fixing my spilling.

I've been only able to attend 2. . .05 back when it was just @Last. Back in those days, we were all on pins and needles waiting for the release of what would soon become LayOut.
I aslo went 2010. They were both great. But I am probably so far out of the loop on all things SU i'd probably be left in the dust. I'd love to see some info on the agenda and such and see if I can get the $$ to go.
Good times

I am all booked in now, got offered a new job on Friday so no longer running around after freelance, nice flight booking to celebrate!
If anybody wants to car share from LA > Palm Springs let me know. I found this Tesla company who do ahead shuttle bookings for $70 if not.

That makes me feel a bit better about missing the last few, Eric!
I have some great memories of the 2010 BC.... Sore head being one of them.

How about the Oz Basecamp, Box? Surely you'll be able to attend that one in your own backyard? I've certainly started putting pennies away for it.

Sounds like it. I received the email in November last year....
I believe Buildingpoint Australia put it out.
See screenshoot from their FB page. Plusspec guys told me about it too so I expect they'll be presenting.
Should really support it!

Palm Springs is a tad closer to me than Sydney. Although Sydney is a lovely town (from my one brief visit there.)
-
I just got my flights in from London, £400 direct with Norwegian great deal if anybody else is flying from UK.
