I’ve just read down the WordPress Blog that WordCamp San Francisco is happening in a few days time. If you’re unfamiliar with WordCamp:

If you’re unfamiliar with WordCamps, here’s the skinny: the San Francisco event is the flagship, put together each year under the direction of WordPress co-founder and lead developer Matt Mullenweg, who traditionally reports on the “State of the Word” and assembles a lineup of speakers that have inspired him over the past year. This year’s lineup includes luminaries such as Richard Stallman, the father of Free Software, best-selling author Scott Berkun, and Salon.com co-founder Scott Rosenberg. As the final speaker list is finalized, the remaining speakers will be added to the WordCamp SF website, but a surprise or two is still possible.

There are also a number of other WordCamps happening all over the world. So, forget about that relaxing weekend or that blackhead treatment you had booked, and head down to meet your WordPress buddies.
