Now that it's getting closer, it seems like the buzz is starting to happen. I know that I'm heading over and ShoeMoney will probably be in attendance - who else from DP is going? It looks like the party list this year is being overrun with "private parties", but there is still the Google Dance that everyone is welcome to, and Webmaster Radio's Search Engine Bash is open and looks like a lot of fun. The party schedule is here. The conference schedule is here. I flew up for the expo last year to decide if the conference would be worth it in the future. I just plunked down a little over 2 grand to go, so I guess the answer is yes. For a chance to ask questions or talk with guys like Eric Schmidt, Matt Cutts, Tim Converse, etc. I'd say it's definitely a treat if you can afford it.
