akroeze Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Anyone possibly consider splitting a room to reduce costs? PM me
Dustdevil Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Anyone possibly consider splitting a room to reduce costs? I'm already splitting my room, or I'd welcome you. But Hell, if it's a big enough room, we can get you a roll-away bed, if worst comes to worst. Hmmm... Maybe I should reserve a suite so four of us can double up and party our arses off, without having to travel far in an impaired condition.

Why do all good educational experiences end up with everyone worshipping at the porcelain throne?
Dustdevil Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Actually, it'll be fun to see if anyone hurls during the lab.
AnthonyM83 Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Cheapest flight I can find is AirTran for $180 round-trip, 8.5 hour flight with the layover in Atlanta. Not that it's not stellar, but can anyone find a cheaper roundtrip from LAX to Dayton, OH? How cheap do you think I can get a room? I'll go the ghetto man . . . I'll sleep in a barn. Heck, I'll call 911 and sleep in the ER lobby... But really...$200 I might be able to pull, but with room and meals and taxi to the event, I don't know . . . . Anyone have frequent flyer miles to give away . . . ?

Perhaps we should all co-ordinate and at the very least get rooms at the same place (for the reasons Dust mentioned and for carpooling reasons)
Just Plain Ruff Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 ok, I'm going to help anthony out to get him to the event. I've sent him a PM I will be using hotel points so I need to stay at a hilton property preferably a Hampton INN. I will have Anthony in the room but we can probably get a roll away bed into the room so there will be room for a 3rd person. Anthony give me a call - you have my number
akroeze Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 I have also sent Anthony a PM giving him alternatives to getting there. Namely him getting to Detroit and me picking him up on the way through since I'm passing right by the airport anyway.
WolfmanHarris Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Welp when I talked to my coordinator to get excused from class I was told that there will be a test that day and given that it's the end of the semester I must reluctantly miss out. I'll be kicking myself all year on this. Doczilla, any chance this is an annual thing? I'm so impressed by the commitment to education by you and your folks. Thanks for the opportunity, I appreciate it, even if I can't make it! - Matt
Just Plain Ruff Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 OH HOLY HELL I just got our schedule at work via email and she's scheduled me for those days. I'm going to have to bow out of this because I'm the new guy on the totem pole and I cannot ask for it off. Anthony the flight offer still stands though. I'm so pumped about this type of event that I'm going to work on getting one set up for the KC MO area. Dangit.
