only thing cold is the cheap Corona.

Events
the 5th installments of how much can you drink and cuervo questions; a shameless ripoff of defcons hacker jeopardy, but with more drinking.
Misc Information
Cuervocon staff should be arriving early in the day friday, to prepare,
and scout around mexico. Speakers will be during the day saturday and some
sunday. times will be announced that weekend. Mexico bar crawls will be
friday and saturday nights, we will probably meet in the hotel bar friday
evening circa 8ish to walk the short distance to the border.
if you cannot find a cheap flight to laredo, you might want to consider
flying to san antonio (approx 2.5 hours) and renting a car. Local caravan
info will be posted when we know it.
Mexico Safety Tips
bring some form of ID for getting back into the US. you most likely will
not need it, but don't tempt fate.
do not start trouble in mexico. when the police arrive, you will be hauled
off to mexican jail, whitey, and theres nothing we can do to help you at
that point.
be careful about drinking water. its generally a bad idea, unless the
place is very nice. ice in mixed drinks is generally brought from the US
and ok.
