doesn't really stay in Vegas. Though that would be pretty amusing, if there were a law enacted that required that any non-criminal act that happened within the city limits could never be spoken of outside of the city limits and couldn't follow you home in any way. The city would be even more popular! Imagine the entertainment you could have just people watching!
This is going to be my sixth Black Hat Vegas and second Defcon. I'm excited to go and hear the (good) talks, do some professional networking, catch up with friends, sneak some time at the pool, and get to dance at the inevitable vendor receptions. Since my job changed last year my involvement and role at conferences is extremely different than it once was. Now I'm just another conference attendee, no responsibility for any of the events at the con, so folks probably won't see as much of me as they used to. The freedom is kind of cool actually, but I'm still on the clock. :)
