Froggy and I will be making an appearance at Defcon again this year. We hope to see lots of Notacon people there, including these speakers who presented at Notacon:
Hope to see some of you there!
The following is my travel log for our trip to ToorCamp 2009. In case anyone wants to be as crazy and recreate the trip. I recommend testing all your tires before you leave. 
Note ** All times are in Eastern, I didn’t bother to reset my watch.
