Holly: Honestly, I haven't asked, but given that it's a Tcl conference and not some whiz-bang Web 2.OHMYGOD circle-jerk, the odds of getting the money to go is slim.

Define a gift in this case for yourself and distribute invitations for friends, family and colleagues to contribute. Why work for it if you can get people to pay your way spread out so that no one feels unduly impressed upon. Conceivably you could setup a "Group Gift" for your birthday and/or Christmas and get one good thing instead of 10 lame things.
