It seems that everyone is preparing to leave for OSCON or is already there. Not me, yet. My work only approved for me to go for the 3 days of sessions. So my flight doesn't leave until early Tuesday morning, putting me in Portland around noon.
This doesn't mean that the anxiety hasn't started already though. First for leaving my family, then for flying, and then finding my hotel, then meeting people, then not fitting in with the people I meet, and on and on. It never really ends....
