A healthy contingent of us will all be at RailsConf: Jon, Matt, Tammer, Jared,
Eric, Joe, Mike, and Chad.

They'll be heckling me on **Sunday at 1:50PM** during my talk, [Advanced Active
Record: Best Practice
Refactoring](https://en.oreilly.com/rails2008/public/schedule/detail/2032).  I'll
be walking through real code, showing how to effectively use Active Record to
refactor it.

The talk will be high-octane, and I may sweat through my t-shirt. Luckily, we're
bringing along boxes of t-shirts.

Introducing … [Tee Bot](http://teebot.thoughtbot.com) (thoughtbot t-shirt
store) … and TeeBot's first three T's:

* [script/runner](http://teebot.thoughtbot.com/products/script-runner)
* [do or do not](http://teebot.thoughtbot.com/products/do-or-do-not)
* [has_many :shoes](http://teebot.thoughtbot.com/products/has_many-shoes)

If you're going to be at RailsConf - you can choose the **Pickup at RailsConf
2008** shipping method when you checkout, then we'll make sure that you get your
shirts while you're in Portland.

Also, because I'm a huge fucking celebrity, I'll be at the **bookstore table on
Saturday, during the AM break from 10:15am-10:40am**, signing copies of Jon's
and my book, [Pro Active Record: Databases with Ruby and
Rails](https://thoughtbot.com/projects/book).

Stop by and say hi, we hope to see you there.
