[MattGallagher programming:Cocoa with:Love] is one of my new favorite Cocoa blogs.  I discovered it through Planet Cocoa, so thanks for that.

Matt writes at a sweet spot of Cocoa geekness style that I find really appealing.  He uses code recipes balanced with concise commentary to pack a lot of goodness into a tight blog posting.  I want my blog articles to read like his.

8:30 PM, July 31: 75% of seats for C4[2] have been sold.  (C4 Twitter)

2:01 AM, August 1: C4[2] registration opens for the public early Friday morning, 2:01 AM, 8/1.  

9:00 AM, August 2: C4[2] is sold out.

I completely missed the announcement until this morning.  And apparently, previous attendees got first dibs at an early private registration.

C4 has been a small gathering in past years, with attendees capped at around 75.  So there were likely around 18-20 open spots left when public registration opened.  That’s not very many.

Looks like C4 is becoming an exclusive event along the lines of Davos.  Someday, I’ll be invited.  Oh, crap, I just spilled my milk…
