- I will be working nearby in August, am willing to help out.
Improv coming from Pittsburgh. If anyone is going my way, that'd be cool, otherwise will Greyhound/Amtrak it. Unsure where I'll be staying.
Robhoitt Rob, N1FSK - I live in Southern, NH so I'd be crazy to miss it! I may be able to lend a ride down for someone who'd need it. I am also willing to help out in any way needed.
Laura Scudder - Would most likely drive via Pittsburgh. Might have room for 2-3 other people.
99% sure so call it definitely. Probably flying.
Skovorodkin almost definitely. Will be coming from New Haven, CT.
Vivek (wikipedia page) Definitely attending. Local, shall commute from Chelmsford, MA. Could provide rides roughly along this route on Sat/Sun.
CBDunkerson Will be driving up from NJ through CT and MA and could give a lift along roughly this route. Current plan is to drive up the afternoon of 8/3 and back the morning of 8/7.

Andylandandrew(Seriously considering, live in NJ, able to drive there)
Schzmo (live about 40 min away, depends on whether I will be busy that day)
TML1988 (I'm only 17 at this time, and while my parents will be on a business trip during this time period, they may or may not want me to participate in this kind of activity. If I do decide to go, however, I'll most likely take Amtrak/Acela from NYC.)
Phaedriel (Pretty good chance I'll drop by - depends on many factors (work & distance mostly) and not all of them subject to my will, so I'll keep you updated)
--Bennyp77 00:20, 26 June 2006 (UTC) The date may be a problem but I might be able to weasel out of my arrangement and catch a Greyhound...:)

If you won't be able to come because of expense, or have a probable conflict, you can note "(cost)" or "(conflict [dates])" below; this gives us a sense of how many people might benefit from scholarships if they become available.
Well, first of all, cost is an issue. Then, as you know, I am 16, so I'd have to have parental permission (though depending on the specific date, I may be 17 by then). However, I might be able to find a cheap airfare (US$100 roundtrip is a bit too low to expect though... not that I don't have more money, but rather that I don't have $200 or $300 to spend on travel expenses.) Then, there is the lodging issue. I really don't think my mother would be comfortable with me crashing at somebody's place if I'd never met them (though she'd not nessecarily have to know...), and hotels are obviously expensive. If I were able to get to Boston, though, travel around the city wouldn't be an issue because I can drive (for a while now, with lots of experience). --Node ue 03:10, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
--Bennyp77 00:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)I MIGHT (emphasis on might) need a place for 1 for the first day confrence. Big maybe. Fluent in English and Spanish...
NEEDED: 1 night, from 7th to 8th -- I decided to stay in hostel. Takot
Travel arrangements
If you have any special (potential) travel arrangements other than ride-sharing, or need a space to coordinate a large shared ride, list them below. Partner fares on airlines? Taking the ferry from Toronto? Find a travel partner, or get advice, here.
Can we have a airline ticket consolidator to arrange some specific low fares for who attend the meeting? AnyFile 11:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, maybe we can charter some flight from a central airport? (paris, london?) Is there someone with experiance on this area? Effeietsanders 10:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
