Having recently installed the latest version of WordPress on my personal blog and being impressed all over again, I'd love to go to WordCamp, but it probably isn't in the cards.

It's an amazingly flexible platform, and the plugin structure is pretty serious genius. It would be a really unique opportunity to hang around with some of the brains that make wp and all of its contributed plugin and theme goodness happen.
