I got to spend my 19th birthday at this conference last year and it was well worth every penny (which, if you look at the reasonable prices, wasn't many).
A lot of the info is on the website, but I want to really highlight the networking aspect. I walked out of that conference knowing so many more people, while also strengthening existing bonds, and that single Strange Loop experience has continued to serve me well when introducing myself to other people who I know attended but was not able to meet while there.
In short, I highly recommend Strange Loop. Be sure to identify yourself as a HNer, I'll try to seek anyone that does out so we can meet up.
