[pct-l] The end of the ADZPCTKO?

[Bill Burge]

Maybe it will get to be like another "function" I have attended -  
DefCon.

It's a "hackers" convention and falls about the same time each year.   
The joke is that when someone asks "when is defcon?" (and sometimes  
even if they don't! ;-) the response is "Hadn't you heard?  Defcon is  
cancelled this year..."  It's sort of a "if you have to ask, you  
obviously haven't taken the time to look" and also "if you'd accept  
someone telling you 'it's cancelled' and not go; you're not the kind  
of person who should be there".  Yeah, the core there are kinda  
elitist...

Zero Day isn't elitist (much) and is a bunch of (mostly) very friendly  
helpful people.  It would probably occur, even if it wasn't (kinda)  
formally organized.

Go (or don't) enjoy yourself (or not?) even if it were "cancelled", I  
bet the place would still be packed with people who want to talk about  
(and walk about) the PCT.
