Definitely an excellent post.
Couldn't make it to this year's event

, but I am very glad that I was able to make it out to a local meet here in Toronto, before I went to last year's event in San Jose. It allowed me to learn many of the great suggestions on CJ's list before making the big investment to go across the continent for Head Fest.
Thanks CJ! I'm sure many others will benefit from your thoughts between now and next year's "It's All In Your Head '09" event (yeah, I just made that crappy name up).
