Leif Wells, of the Atlanta Macromedia User Group lost his voice at MAX after an evening of raffling off a buncha Timbuk2 Laptop Bags.
After seeing numerous news reports predicting that Ivan will be hitting New Orleans have me wondering about the potential impact on the MAX Conference. New Orleans is below sea level, and a direct hit could devestate the city in a way not seen in a long time.
If you've not bought your plane/hotel/MAX tickets yet, it might be worth waiting to see what damage the storm does.
Yesterday I bought my plane tickets and made my final reservations for this year's MAX Conference. I'd hoped to arrive the Saturday before and stay through the Sunday after, but it looks like anyone who doesn't already have a room booked for Nov 5th/6th isn't going to be getting one. None of the Conference hotels have any left, and the only other area hotels I could find for those days are either far away or marked up to ridiculously high rates.
At least there's the weekend before, Halloween! I'm not sure what to expect, but I am very sure it's going to be an interesting time!
I'm still arriving Saturday, but am now leaving on Friday the 5th. If you're going to be around early, drop me a note.
Looks like Macromedia Max 2004 will be held in New Orleans this year! Makes me wonder what the big party event will be on the last night...
