GOOD: this year #nbpy is more popular this year, and on track to probably sell close to capacity (didn't happen last year)

BAD: it's all at the enthusiast rate, which we offer because we care about being accessible, assuming that some people with means pay more, but we'd not turn a surplus if we sell out and people only pay that rate

No special deals or promos this week, but we'd still like it if you bought your tickets soon!

Actually, I guess I should mention our furniture company is running out of many fancy armchair options, so buy yours soon if you want one of those? https://pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy/nbpy-2025/ #NBPy

customer service for #NBPy's fancy armchair tickets _continues to be weird_.

haven't posted asking people to buy a ticket to #NBPy this week

please buy a ticket to #NBPy this week, this April's best tech conference that is hosted on a farm https://pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy/nbpy-2025/

the problem with selling two #NBPy tickets before 9am is that the rest of the day is comparatively boring

buy a ticket! https://pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy/nbpy-2025/ #Python #PyCon

This is what running a small event looks like 7 weeks out. I'd like to be expanding inclusivity and outreach, but instead we're still committing to spend more money than we have in reserve (for at least the next 7 paid attendees, anyway).

The catering at #NBPy is historically excellent, and if you haven’t bought your ticket yet why not?

#NBPy has signed our catering contracts, which this year contain zero (0) boxed lunch days. happy days.

If we sell one ticket a day until #NBPy 2025…

… we will have sold no fewer than 53 tickets. Plus the three I've already told you about. Plus…

… oh never mind.

Buy your #NBPy ticket today! https://pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy/nbpy-2025/ #Python #SFBA

North Bay Python 2025 lineup looks amazing! I'm ready to enjoy the talks in a fancy armchair and hang out with really cool people and some barn cats! #python #nbpy

If this weekend's events had happened a week or so ago, I'd have been reaching out to every Civic Tech person I know to fill this year's #NBPy program…

… but in the meantime, here's @froi's great talk from our 2019 conference on building tools to investigate corruption: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxu5zMh1bHA

Okay, signed up for the North Bay Python 2025 Event. Not sure what I am expecting, other than to meet up with interesting people who use Python for interesting projects (and have lunch). Anyone interested in meeting me IRL at the conference, feel free to reach out. #nbpy

The preliminary talk list for #NBPy looks great - I’m so glad to be going for the first time this year!

aaah, the fulfilment side of people actually buying fancy armchair tickets to #NBPy

I'm glad to be doing it… but it's definitely weird.

I guess I should mention that I've just put the catering order in, so I can confirm there'll likely be lunch this year?

Tickets are on sale! https://pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy/nbpy-2025/

I am pondering doing the North Bay Python 2015 as a newly post-employment hobbyist. I think I went to the first one, but haven't been in a while. Any of my mastodon friends attending? #nbpy
