DjangoCon US Announced for Sept 7-9 in Portland

Anyone want to speculate on why Django gets so much attention on HN, but Drupal doesn't? I realize they're not exactly the same thing, but the last DrupalCon was in SF, and live video of the keynotes didn't garner a single upvote.

Hmm hopefully will see lots of good videos come out of this! (being a southern hemisphere type has its disadvantages).

Has anyone been to DjangoCon previously? I'm curious if it's at all worthwhile to attend (since I live in Seattle).
