Sadly I doubt I'll be attending, but José sure made Braga seems nice during his lightning talk at YAPC::NA. One thing he fails to mention in his email is that one can apparently buy beer for 85 cents there. It's not clear whether thats in Canadian dollars, US dollars, or Euros, but it's pretty damn cheap no matter what.
