Who cares about the talks? (Score:2)

by brian_d_foy (44)

I never really go to the talks because things like "What's New in DBI" are in the Changes file. Damian's talks are interesting if you haven't seen them before, but it's mostly entertainment.

I go because I know interesting people will be there. I take over a table in the hallway and hang out with old friends. :)

But then, I don't have to pay to do any of that. If it cost me anything, I wouldn't go.

  Exactly.
  
  I might go, but only because a. I am not paying, and b. I would see stuff other than Perl sessions.

    Indeed...paying money to hang out with you guys?! :D Maybe it's only us freeloading pub track people who go to TPC anymore...and that doesn't exactly pay the bills.
