Unfortunately my travel plans got messed up pretty bad by a protracted pilot strike (and some inflexible circumstances, in that I am attending a conference up until the moment I would have headed to Birmingham). As such the travel has gotten real expensive, and I can't really defend the trip anymore. Sorry all, hope you have an excellent time.
My BYOC and PC rental tickets are up for grabs, I am not going to try to shadily resell them, so in case someone can use them go ahead (I seem to recall that for at least the BYOC ticket the name doesn't matter, but don't take my word on that, and I am very unsure about the PC rental ticket).
