I will be going to this one, so there will at least be something to say about it afterward, although something tells me I'll at least see Eric there.

Sadly, you won't: I'm chained to my desk tonight. Say hi to Nick!

Doh, I just saw this! Spent the day in Seoul on a visa run, and got home late. Definitely post something about the event, and let us know how it went.
