Okay, we have a LOT of pages of discussion here. I have a proposition: I think we should prepare a one-page "flyer" of sorts for all people coming to the Chicago session to print up and bring with themselves to kind of wrap up all necessary information.

I'll be willing to draft it up, perhaps anybody could PM me with ideas on good solid info that we could use to make peoples trips and days easier.

Here's what Im thinking:

Schedule reminders (stuff from 404, popular decisions on before&after things to do)
Sketch map of the main highways and local navigation(like they put on restauarant menus and stuff, you know, the really simple little vicinity maps.)
Quick directions from the nearby interstates.
A cell phone number or two of local people willing to provide assistancec if people get lost.
edit: Ooh, and a "dont forget to bring" list. Everybody forgets something on a trip.

Any other ideas?

Yeah, and I would like to echo the call to either narrow down the conversation, or start a new thread or two, to pooling final resources: People who need places to sleep, people who need rides, polls on places to meet up before and after....

This is a good idea - I've already put up a map of the area in hopes that it would be useful for coordination, but haven't got much feedback. I think people have been focusing on Sunday's axons.

Can you re-link that map? Was it a sketch, or a mapquest readout?

Well, not that anyone really cares, but I'm out. I can pull together the money, or the transportation to go. My car's been in the shop for 3 and a half months now, and it won't be done in time to make it. So everyone have fun, and report in on what goes on damnit!!!

WOOT! Looks like I'm going to be able to make the trip after all. Despite being completely out of sick time and annual leave, a well placed school event might just get me out of work for a couple of days without having to lie about it. I just have to leave out a whole lot of the truth (like the fact that this school event will only take 30 minutes and not the 2 days I'm taking off for it Twisted Evil

) Man, if I'd have put as much effort into some of the puzzles as I put into getting off for the Training Exercises, I might have been able to help you guys out a little!
