ChiPy - I will be there doing video, so I can drive in left over PyCon
swag to give out if someone will be there to give it out.  Anyone up
for hanging out?  I suggest we do a mini sprint so you have something
to do when no one is talking to you, and when people come around you
can tell them about what you are working on which will be as cutting
edge and you can get.  People love that.  maybe discussing stuff with
them will help you work out problems.  Might slow you down too, but at
least you won't be bored.

Flourish has good food in the exhibit room.

If I can get someone to say they will be there I'll see about getting
a wad of stuff to give out.   like PyCon bags of swag, including
shirts.
