There are only 26 tickets left for acts_as_conference. If you know anyone that has been waiting tell them to boogie on over to http://www.actsasconference.com and sign up. There will be coffee, food, free shwag, prizes, and of course a rock star line up of speakers and sponsors. And speaking of which, the sponsor talks will be rocking too. Sun’s Brian Leonard will take the well know Depot application, and *gasp*, incorporate Java. Along the way he’ll look at some “other cool stuff” (hint: stuff you’ll wish TextMate could do). That is a major difference from the usual vendor talk so don’t miss it after the FREE Rails For All sponsored breakfast on Saturday morning.

The charity session being held by Engine Yard and featuring Ezra Zygmuntowicz and Evan Phoenix is filling up as well. So far we have raised more than $1600 for charity. If you attend you could win a free 3-slice configuration for a year! Combine that with hearing Ezra and Evan talk shop and you can’t lose for a tax-free donation of $50. Eat some breakfast, get a tax break, and come listen to these guys. It’s a win-win.

And if that wasn’t enough, Bradley Taylor of Rails Machine is hosting a party at Kirkman Ale House Friday night from 7pm-9pm. Free beer and appetizers for all.

We can’t thank all of our sponsors enough for their great generosity in making this event a success. See you next weekend!
