Well it works either way. Python is my preferred language :)

Traditionally we have a party Saturday night right after the
conference, so around 6-6:30. Last year we charged a 10.00 door fee for
those who wanted to come but didn't necessarily want to go to the
conference (and husbands/wives etc...).

The party at this time is set to be at the Paramount Hotel/Dragon
Fish cafe. Last year we had about 40 people (the conference was
bigger). It was a blast. Of course the more people we can get to come
to the conference the better.

It would be easy enough to just have badges you get when you go to the
conference. If you don't have a badge, cough up 10 bucks? Does that
seem reasonable?

No sweat, I don't consider myself famous :)
