There will indeed be a bunch of us there early.  Last year I only got to
T&Jam a day early and felt like I missed a lot of the fun.  This year I'm
getting to Boston on Tuesday.  OK, so I have other things that I'll be
doing part of that time, but the focus is Twist & Shout and I'll be hanging
out at the hotel quite a bit to meet people as they show up.

The official plan for an unofficial meeting place is the pool.  Just
because it's New England in February doesn't mean there won't be a pool.
(Yeah, it's in doors.)  Don't worry.  You dont' have to swim.  It's just a
great place to hang out.  We'll all be jamming every chance we get.  If you
show up early enough you can start decorating the place with latex.  As I
understand it, the hotel folks said we can construct whatever we want,
wherever we want, so feel free to create huge things to show off.

For those of you waiting until the last minute to register, this is pretty
much the last minute.  Patty has posted a few times over the last few days
and I spoke to her on the phone earlier.  Registrations are coming in
faster now than over the last few months, so don't wait any longer.  Also,
if you're planning on flying, you're closing in on your chance to get 21
day advance sale tickets.  Prices to fly will only be going up now.
