OSCon 2005 Day 0
Day 0 starts way to early… 4:44 AM actually since my youngest decided to wake me up at that time. I had to be at the airport round 6 anyway so figured I would just get up.

Once I got to portland, I met up with a friend of mine and we grabbed some lunch and preceeded to the brwers fest.
