Tim Maher, SPUG Leader writes "Celebrated Perl Guru and OOP-Meister Damian Conway is alive and well in Seattle, no thanks to those sickly East-coasters at YAPC 19100 who infected him with vile microbes. We're feeding him Thai food, bragging about our stock options, and letting him view fireworks from a massive yacht to get him back in shape for the Damian-o-Rama (aka the Dam-EYE-athon). This event consists of 20 hours of presentations on topics including OO-Perl, Programming without Class, Quantum Physics, Stand-Up Comedy, and the Virtue of Laziness. It all begins at 7pm, July 5th.
