Mike - yep I'll bring some PHPH and PHPSC stickers to PHPNW too.

Adam - I think it's nice if anyone has visited a UG and they didn't have
stickers at the time or something. It helps spread the word I guess, just
in case anyone is ever in town for example. One of the purposes of PHP
South Coast conference is to promote the existence of the UGs nearby, so
that people know "oh hey, I'm in city X in a few weeks, and there's a UG
there!"

Maybe there's no tangible benefits, but I think it helps overall.

Thanks
James
