I use my passport for mine, yes. I have known people refuse to 
sign them because "that picture doesn't look anything like you"
though, so be warned :) I'll bring mine along too. Anyone
else? 

If someone wants to post about how to do this properly, and then
the exact step-by-step on signing and uploading after, that'd be
great. I know opinions vary on the first one. Some people say you
should exchange emails after exchanging keys, to check the things
exist, for example; and others just sign away. 

I had a nice "step 1, step 2, step 3" thing for the uploading
after, but nuked it with rm and * (as you do..). And I keep 
forgetting now and having to do and dig around looking for the
howtos and wotnot.

One thing more, though: you say PGP? I have a GnuPG key. I have
no idea how I sign a PGP one. :)
