I'm in San Francisco! Where can I spend bitcoins? Is there a list somewhere? I'm only aware of Cups and Cakes, the sushi restaurant, and the grocery store that were listed in that reporter's article about trying to live on bitcoin.
Note that San Francisco is very, very far from the conference. Hope you got a hotel room closer.
Troll...
San Jose is under an hours drive from sf. Many people commute that daily in ca.

I'm in the Bay Area, is this worth going to San Jose for if you are not going to spend the $300 to actually go in the event?
The $300 entrance fee actually makes it more of a Bitcoin elite/high society club. Why don't we "commoners" get together at Singlebarrel on San Salvador st Saturday night? If the lords & ladies of Bitcoin Abbey want to come too that's fine.

Who knows maybe this conference will be a Woodstock of Virtual Currencies someday haha

Another piece of fun advice: Laptop thefts happen with some regularity at tech conferences ... at a Bitcoin conference if the thieves don't STEAL ALL THE LAPTOPS, they're sleeping on the job.
Prepare for theft by having a good backup and either not leaving coins on your laptop or at least using full disk encryption and wallet encryption. Be prepared to keep your laptop with you at all times. Consider bringing a lock for it.

Let's hope Marriott and the rest of the major hotels are done changing all the guest room locks:

I'm coming and I'm not bringing any coins with me. Fuck that.

The cast of "Let's Talk Bitcoin!" will be in San Jose this weekend!
We would love to meet some of our fans and hear their take on bitcoin.

I'm hoping to use the Gyft app to the full extent.

it's one of those things that is not really worth going to unless you are speaking or on the panel.
You're missing the point of conferences.One does not go to a conference in order to listen to the presentations - those will be recorded for later viewing. One goes to an event like this for the socializing and for the networking. The conversations that happen out in the hallways while the presentations are going on are more important than the presentations themselves.
I thought he was asking if any one of us was interested in presenting on it, maybe I misunderstood, but I completely agree with you - and that's why I'm going
