I am considering taking my father to the Hofbräuhaus in Newport on Saturday evening after the conference. It's the only one outside of Germany and is very close to the conference site in Covington.

I do a lot of work with OpenOffice; for those not familiar, think LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice... One of the technical editors who worked on a book with me was attending a conference in that area, so I drove down to meet her and took her to Hofbräuhaus for dinner before driving back to Columbus. Great food, but depending on the time, you may have to wait a bit.

Wish I was able to attend this year.

Well it sounds like the food is worth the wait. Most likely you can have a beer while waiting, a plus. Many people indicate the conference is worth attending. Glad I can make it this year.

Well we are down to 36 hours before the event starts. Has anyone decided to attend this weekend?

Which hotel did you select for lodging? There are some decent restaurants in the area to try for dinner. My father and I will be attending classes tomorrow; hopefully, it's going to be enjoyable and a learning experience.

Comfort Inn and Suites. It is usually where I stay when I'm on the road. I am thinking of walking down to Newport Pizza for a good beer and something to eat.

Working 10 hr days, 7 days a week. So no woodworking show for me this year. My heart sank when we were told the news.
