Good for the Ready or Not film franchise for correctly naming their second film. (I understand the marketing need to preface it with "Ready or Not 2:")

This is a good, short list of convention tips (weighted a bit toward the exhibitor perspective). Would definitely watch and share deeper dives of these, and for folks who have never been to an event like the ones mentioned: definitely take note on the topics like remember to eat and cement floors start to hurt your legs after a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSWvs9ETbCo

The latest Django Chat episode is out with the one and only @adamchainz!

We talk about his latest book, how he's using Django today, incorporating AI tools, consulting work at Rippling, and all the things. It's always a pleasure to chat with Adam.

Side note: we've had a decent uptick in text chat in recent months, as well. If video calls are not your thing, or if our first Friday / second Wednesday call schedules don't work for you, there's still a great community of people there discussing the ins and outs of running events.
