Thanks for the heads up! I pretty much assumed it would be like that. I'm glad I sprung the extra $10/night for the hotel that is hosting the IHS so I don't have to wander the streets late night. I'm not expecting anything much aside from good bourbon and hopefully some local craft beers...oh and 3 days full of talks on herps!
If you do end up swinging by, they do offer day passes for the lectures, you should get in contact with me and we can chat snakes, and maybe you could show me some good herping spots in the area...I'll be there an extra day so hopefully I'll be able to go out and get some herping in!
