Why you should come to the Rising Tide conference

1. Because we love you!

2. Because you'll get to hear Chris Cooper and Robert Block talk about their book Disaster: Hurricane Katrina and the Failure of Homeland Security

3. Because you'll get to hear a lot of intelligent, informed, inspiring conversation. Oh, and I'll be on a panel too, to kind of even all of that out.

4. Because if you are reading this, then you're geek enough to come.

5. Because it's twenty bucks, which will cover our rental of the Yat Club, the audio and video systems, the wireless network, and all that other stuff.

6. Because even the mainstream media will be there.

7. Because the Yat Club scenery is quite impressive.

8. Because there is an air conditioned bar within 50 feet of the conference room.

9. Because you'll get to hear, see and meet Greg Peters and Scout Prime.

10. Because it's a great poster, comrade.

11. Because lunch will be catered by one of the best restaurants in town, that still hasn't reopened since the flood: DUNBAR'S CREOLE COOKING!!!! That's right, your $20 gets you Dunbar's fried chicken, red beans and rice, and cornbread. Oh hell, yeah!

Good food pic, big boy. That should bring them in.

Great reasons all. I'll include this in an upcoming post.

Can I pay cash at the door? I'm quite poor at the moment.

Cash at the door works fine. You should be able to go to the website and register, but not pay...that will help us with the headcount.

See you there!
