That's too bad! I'm sure Lisa and travelswithkuma will miss you, and I probably would have tried to put you to work on Match Game SF.

Don't forget to post on renovationsf as well — or else look at Lisa's friend pcornelius's post there and see if maybe the two of you can piece together pricing that would make it possible for you to attend. I'm astonished to see that there are still hotel rooms available at <$60/night at the Vagabond Inn located in between the Peppermill and the Atlantis.
