[22:15] <philipballew_> So all is good in the hood
[22:15] <bkerensa> philipballew_: Ahh of this week right?
[22:15] <philipballew_> I think, cls is this weekend correct?
[22:16] <bkerensa> philipballew_: well good news is that I might be able to give you my 3 day pass + expo if all goes good
[22:16] <bkerensa> but either way you are covered for booth access and expo
[22:16] <philipballew_> Nice!
[22:16] <bkerensa> since I am now speaking I think I get a speaker pass which is all access
[22:16] <bkerensa> :D
[22:16] <bkerensa> Im kind of stoked because the Speakers Lounge is nice
[22:17] <philipballew_> I imagine, the scale speakers one had free food.
[22:17] <philipballew_> got your talk ready yet?
[22:18] <philipballew_> So I should give my pass to someone else then?
[22:18] <bkerensa> LOL
[22:18] <bkerensa> philipballew_: not till I know for sure
[22:18] <bkerensa> :D
[22:18] <bkerensa> philipballew_: nope... I just got told I was speaking this morning... I wasnt planning on it
[22:18] <bkerensa> :D
[22:19] <philipballew_> I trust a few sleepless nights will pump out a solid speech
[22:21] <philipballew_> If am trying to arange a friend from college to give me and kiilhead17 a tour of portland
[22:21] <bkerensa> philipballew_: I have a t-shirt waitingfor u :D
[22:21] <bkerensa> philipballew_: yeah he is worried about his motel... his work put him in a slum
[22:21] <bkerensa> =/
[22:22] <philipballew_> He speaks English well I think
[22:23] <philipballew_> Hopefully they do not take advantage of him. Here in Placer county, people are always takin advantage of, and laughed at when they don't speak English
[22:24] <bkerensa> philipballew_: he speaks it very colorfully ;)
[22:24] <philipballew_> Thats what I recall. I might offer to help him get around and what not
[22:25] <philipballew_> Im pretty good on portland slang after watching Portlandia
[22:26] <bkerensa> philipballew_: good stuff.... I will be somewhere between working.. speaking and sleeping
[22:26] <bkerensa> and maybe some boozing if I find time
[22:27] <philipballew_> I say a minifridge at the booth
[22:27] <philipballew_> you can store all the booz you want!
[22:29] <bkerensa> philipballew_: Bring sticky notes
[22:30] <bkerensa> philipballew_: we will cover Fedora's booth while they are boozing with 10,000 sticky notes that say nice things about Ubuntu
[22:30] <bkerensa> :D
[22:30] <bkerensa> MarkDude: ^ :P
[22:30] <philipballew_> I have 100's actually!
[22:32] <MarkDude> Hmmmm
[22:33] <MarkDude> So will you just say sumthin nice about the Ubuntu drivers 10,00 times
[22:33] <MarkDude> ?
[22:33] <MarkDude> :D
[22:34] <MarkDude> Or just write *awesome Community* that many times?
[22:35] <philipballew_> Maybe ill see if I can snag some ubuntu cola bkerensa and bring it upp
[22:35] <philipballew_> *up
[22:36] <bkerensa> MarkDude: How they just work with every bit of hardware I have?
[22:36] <bkerensa> :D
[22:36] <MarkDude> drivers
[22:37] <bkerensa> MarkDude: What drivers does Ubuntu lack? :)
[22:37] <MarkDude> I figure a debate would be fair, as long as we dont go down the no win Gome 3 / Unity comparison XD
[22:37] <MarkDude> Uh
[22:37] <philipballew_> we have more correct?
[22:37] <MarkDude> bkerensa,  I mean Ubuntu has AWESOME drivers
[22:37] <MarkDude> I mean stellar
[22:38] <philipballew_> I say we have a chair fight at oscon
[22:38] <MarkDude> And that other Distros should not try to compare there
[22:38] <bkerensa> LOL
[22:38] <MarkDude> Since they would LOSE
[22:38] <bkerensa> LOL
[22:38] <bkerensa> MarkDude: so you come up on Friday yes?
[22:38]  * MarkDude was thinking *bar knuckle boxing*
[22:38] <MarkDude> bare
[22:39]  * MarkDude has fake handlebar mustache just for this purpose
[22:39] <bkerensa> MarkDude: you should use fiverrr.... I would pay you to make me a weird video :D
[22:39] <MarkDude> And has also been praciticing his boxing skills with all my servants
[22:39] <MarkDude> Weird?
