I'm personally not fussed, sorry!

There is the AI workshop I'm attending on Monday to Tuesday, but I doubt
it'd clash with a session I'd "need to go to" (and might be a nice break
from it), and W-F I don't know what's on at what times, but apart from
the roundtable and my group gathering, I'm not tied to anything - this
would be more worthwhile then most of the stuff I saw last year. :)
