[Perl Whirl, Java Jam, XML Excursion -- yes, the geek theme cruise
has arrived -- which raises the question, when should we expect the
First Floating FoRKcon? --RK]

May 29 - June 5, 2000

We start off with a complimentary Bon Voyage cocktail party.

Then we continue the festivities with a seven-day cruise through
Alaska's breathtaking Inside Passage. Along the way, we will be
offering 3 days (20 hours) of top-flight Perl and Perl-complementary
classes taught by expert instructors. And let's not forget the Q&A
with Larry Wall.

And what Perl gathering would be complete without a Perl Quiz Show, a
Pub Crawl (from 5 to 7pm in Juneau), constant cocktail parties with
your favorite Perl celebrities, a movie festival, or karaoke? We'll
have all of that, and a lot more.
