I don't really know how much of the core HTN audience attends ADASS,  
they're generally more SPIE people.

At $325 registration fee and $155 a night for the hotel + airfare +  
tax and incidentals I'm probably looking at well over $2500 to  
attend, so unless someone wants to give me a boat load of money, I'm  
not going, I don't have budget for that...

PS. $155 + tax a night, for the hotel? Are they mad?
