    I'm likely going to BSides Vega$. Not yet sure about anything else.

    Edit: Bought my BSides ticket that other night. Probably not going to anything else. The wife and I might make it a vacation when BSides is done.

    I’d love to. Probably not in the cards for me though.

    Thread bump topic: I'm thinking about going for my Extra Class amateur radio license at DEF CON his year. I have absolutely no reason to other than to renew my license that I never use.

    Yes, I actually set my mindset as you did lol. But, as you know try harder and we will conquer it even if it won't be in the class.

    Have a good night, by the way.

    Same to you, and see you in class!

    On another interesting note, if anyone cares, August 3rd - 5th in the same hotel as Blackhat Mandalay Bay, EVO 2018 will be happening lol

    EVO is the world Street Fighter tournament. I believe the tickets are only for the 5th which is a sunday and which is for the finals. I bought my ticket and plan on going sunday afternoon right after training. Tickets were only $28 not including tax and service fee ($40ish). One just has to walk down to the arena/stadium area.

    Evo 2018 Championship Series | Official Website of the Evolution 2018 World Championship Series

    $20 off until tomorrow.

    Always wanted to go to EVO. Its on the same weekend and hotel as blackhat, why not enjoy a sunday afternoon after class, watching the best street fighter players around the world lol

    Here is a little more about EVO.

    I have this silly thing where I won't go to Blackhat or RSA because of all the spam that I get from companies saying "Coming to BlackHat! Visit us at booth xzy".

    I will miss DefCon this year unfortunately.
