oh man! I'd love to go, but for an unaffiliated guest the tickets are just too expensive :frown:

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

Isn't it possible that you get invited? PF plays a role in the education of physics students of all levels.

If not, maybe you should get over any initial hesitation and do a little fundraising (via paypal) on the frontpage. I can promise a modest contribution. If many people give a little, it may go pretty quickly and you can be there on the 9th.

Personally I would think so, but I haven't received any invite yet :)
