Hi Sharon, Luke here. Hope you can make it to NEST 12. It's a really great time, very fun. All the tickling stuff aside, for me, I go primarily to see all the great people and friends I have made throughout my time here. I only get to go to NEST. I do't really have time or money to go to any of the smaller gatherings and most of them are held in the mid-west or east coast. Since I'm in Vegas, it's a tad difficult. So NEST is the only time I get to see everyone and it's only for 3-4 days and then I don't get to see anyone for an entire year 🙁 So, if you have the means, DEFINITELY go!!!! You won't regret it 🙂 Next year will be only be my 4th NEST, so I am excited already 🙂 Nice to meet you!!
