You should post an update at kickstarter project, so all backers would get this info. I bet not everyone there reads this newsgroup.
Its a common practice for kickstarter projects to send progress updates after project successful funding.

For the first 20 at the $250 level and all those above $375 (which includes you), you still have to register (so we know you're coming), but there's no charge. "Registering" in that case is just letting me know.

We're still working on getting discounted hotel rooms available, but in the meantime booking your flight is a good idea.

Sorry, it doesn't include the tutorial.

Probably should clarify for the Kickstarter announcement:

"Those of you who contributed at the early bird level and above are already registered - looking forward to seeing you there!"

I just registered. It would seem, though, that since I used my wife's credit card I am registered in her name. There was no way to separate registration information from billing information. My wife will travel to California with me, but she certainly has no interest in attending the conference! What do I need to do to make sure it's in my name?

If somebody make subtitles for the talks you could use this: http://liliputing.com/2013/01/turn-subtitled-videos-into-ebooks-with-storyboard.html

Switch names with your wife? ;)

Although registrations are not refundable, they are transferable. Just let me know.

So basically I would have to register, and pay only for the tutorial? :)

You're already registered for the conference, since you let me know you're coming. The tutorial isn't part of the conference, it's just adjacent to it because that's convenient.
