[](http://barcamp.org/index.cgi?BarCampNYC&ref=chrismessina.me)So I leave in a couple hours for New York to attend [Bar Camp NYC](http://barcamp.org/index.cgi?BarCampNYC&ref=chrismessina.me) with [Mlle Rogue](http://www.horsepigcow.com/2006/01/barcamp-nyc-this-weekend.html?ref=chrismessina.me) (the event has been fabulously organized by [Amit Gupta](http://www.amitgupta.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) et al). If anyone's around, wants to get a drink later or even, hey, sometime this weekend, drop me a comment and lemme know how to get in touch. I've really only got a piece of tonight and tomorrow evening and then we leave on Sunday, but hell, it's NYC. Who has time for sleep? And yes, there will be a [backchannel](http://barcamp.org/index.cgi?BackChannel&ref=chrismessina.me)!
