I received my invitation yesterday, and I'm happy to say I will be joining this great event for August 2014! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at summer camp! Thank you, Allison, for your part in helping this come true for me.

Oh man...I should have enabled email notifications on this thread! Thank you, Dr. Joe! Now if I can just find Allison's email addy...so far havent seen it on the EV site.

The open mind I can provide...I am all about learning. And although I'm middle aged, noone I know ever accuses me of it. Perhaps due to that relentless energy thing? :)

Cameron and Curt, send your email address to Allison and he will get it to me. I will see if I can wrangle you an invitation for next year. I have a connection with the organizer. Views that are different than mine are welcome. Open minds are even more welcome. And young is good. Relentless energy is even better.

Ahhh...

Ahhh...

I'm really hoping to go someday. Sounded like a lot of fun/learning.

Who else spoke?

I'm mildly hopeful that via occasional snark blasts such as that I recently directed at the ASHRAE 62.2 forced mechanical ventilation committee (hereinafter CRAPONUS), that someday I might also earn an invitation to summer camp...

Not that summer camp lust is the source of my snark blasts; they're organic to my DNA and free of charge.

Thanks for the summary, and
Thanks for the summary, and the link to the article that got Dr. Joe's attention...that was great!

If I were a full time building science guy I'd be waving my hand in the air like Arnold Horshack, saying "Oh oh! Mr. Lstiburek! Can I come?" but for now I'm a in-the-trenches chief engineer of an art museum who is about to double as an HVAC instructor teaching HVAC design at our local community college...which is the very class I sat in several years back that stirred my initial interest in building science and HVAC, where I first began to understand the building and HVAC as a complete system.

I also don't play any musical instruments (not very well...and I'm sure the didgeredoo can't hold a candle to bagpipes)...but maybe someday if the stars align I may be able to experience first hand what looked like an absolute building science geekfest blast for you all!

How about some pictures of the babes of building science? Our own Amanda Evans is supposedly there but so far no photo evidence to confirm...

Steve W.: You're welcome, Steve.

Jamie K.: OK, since I got two requests in two comments, I figured I better just show the data. My photo of that slide is in there now. Jews are right in the middle.

"He then showed a graph
"He then showed a graph of blower door results by religion."

So how did the numbers from Southern Baptists compare to those from the Catholics?

OK, sorry, I couldn't resist :-).

I'm very much impressed by your comments about sharing ideas and, especially, the opportunities you had to learn. That says a lot about your character.

Thanks for the summary!

Best wishes.
