Maybe bring a friend
Hopefully a friend will tag along. She is brand spanking new to Drupal. Also...I will be in NYC for Satruday. If any of you see this and want to meet up email kurttrumble at gmail That same friend may be with me there. Cheers.
NYC Camp
There are several of us that will be at NYC Camp. Tentative plan is to try to meet up at 5:30 pm at the Delegates Dining Room.
Capital District well represented @ NYCCamp + Bring your laptop
It was terrific seeing so many Albany area people at NYC Camp this weekend. I can't wait to hear the best tidbit(s) everyone discovered there tomorrow night.
I also wanted to remind everyone to please create an account at Drupal Ladder (http://drupalladder.org/) before tomorrow night and to bring your laptop so we can each explore the ladder rungs.

Some info from Drupal NYC 2014
A few items of possible interest....
Class - Intermediate Drupal - instructor - Ted Bowman - sixmiletech.com - the finished site for the class is at http://www.sixmiletech.com/nyc-camp-2014 - I have an email in to him about having a problem installing the final gz at Pantheon - was about advanced views and panels. Really a good class.
Sessions...
Responsive E-mail Design and Theming - Preston So - www.prestonsodesign.com - this was interesting - emails really don't lend themselves to looking "nice" - lots of tables in tables, inline css - zurb.com/ink is a helpful download for emails and html.
Using Panels Wisely - Suzanne Dergacheva - evolvingweb.ca - nice entry-level intro to Panels - showed how easy it was to change the appearance very quickly (change from 1 column to 2, for example).
Drupal and the Adaptive Interface - Kevin O'leary - Acquia - this was about how the application adapts to the user - focus was on Drupal 8 - for example, the app "remembers" (through a cookie and on the network) what a given user selected in the CKEditor (say, left align) and adds that button to the 5 buttons displayed. Neat trick.
