The Top Ten Reasons to Come to the So Cal Linux Expo

After working on press releases for the So Cal Linux Expo for literally months, you run a bit dry sometimes. I asked the SCALE volunteers with suggestions for reasons why you'd want to come to SCALE. Here's what we came up with (remember at this point the Expo staff is a bit punchy, too).

The top Ten Reasons to attend the So Cal Linux Expo:

12. The booth babes

11. An extended tour of LAX terminals and shuttles

10. The 405 freeway at 5 p.m.

9. Experience El Nino up close and live

8. You didn't get one of the flashing, magnetic Google pins last year

7. Your own personal 6.0 on the Richter scale

6. LinuxWorld was too far

5. Walking sideways in expo floor aisles
