    It's been a long time since 102, but it was murder in SW Florida!

    Looks like hitchhiking between Parallax and the Hotel is going to be popular. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    I wouldn't worry too much about it, Parallax said they will have a van...when I booked my room the hotel said I could choose between 2..it was all they had left. So I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of folks leaving from the Hotel Sat morning......

    Hot California days are dry. Don't forget your shorts, sandals, shades, and Hawaiian shirts [noparse]:)[/noparse]
    I'll have room for three in my car. Will we have a sync-up dinner Friday night?

    I was just about to say that it will be a dry 100, at least.

    Steve, you really going to get a room?

    My wife will melt, but I'll be fine - I worked in El Centro a couple of times for six month stretches, 125'F in the shade there in Imperial Valley...

    I had a recent change to my travel plans, I was going to be driving from Vegas to Parallax but I am now going to be flying in to SMF Thursday night.
    I will be staying in Merced thursday and saturday night now. So I can help transport people saturday morning from the hotel to parallax.

    I just got my travel booked!

    Coming in to Rocklin Friday night. Up for dinner, if anyone is interested. Just PM or e-mail me. I didn't think I was going to be able to put this one together, but did.

    Looking forward to seeing everybody.

    Anyone have a hotel recommendation?

    I've yet to book that.

    I'm staying at the Days Inn... It's only about $65 for the night (single). It's not as nice as the 'official' hotel though.

    The Parallax Special Event hotel is full as of last night [noparse]:)[/noparse] I'm staying accross the street at the Marriott Spring Hill Suites ... it's almost twice the Days Inn rate grumble, grumble. @NickMcClick yes, I'm too old to go without sleep for more than 24 hours [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    I just left Merle & Luetta's (a couple very "crafty" seniors in my community)
    and have a neat surprise for the expo raffle. I couldn't get the details on t-shirts worked out fast enough for UPEW, but I believe this will more than make up for it.

    Can't tell you more than that, but you'll see at the Expo. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    I'll be landing Thursday @ 11:30 am and am renting a mid sized car and could drive 2-3 more people Saturday & Sunday. I'm also staying at the Staybridge.

    I'm flying back east on the red-eye Sunday night.

    Just send me an PM if I can help anyone out w/ a ride

    If anybody else is staying at the Days Inn and has a car with free space I'd like to hitch hike with them. Otherwise I'll just hoof it (it's not that far to Parallax...).

    Jeff,
    Is any of the local media invited ?
    Or are you keeping this on the "down-low" ?

    Jim,
    It will be a very long shot if I come. I'd have to arrive Saturday and be home on Sunday.
    If by some miracle I do make it. I will bring a couple boards, but I'll be travelling very light.

    Would any of the locals mind recommending a course for friday morning? I will be coming from Merced,CA leaving around 7am should I just take the 99 up, I was also told that a better way may be 99 to the 120 to the 5 to the 80(not business 80). What is better? Or is there something better than that?

    Jimmy, sure. Having lived in the area for 30+ years I can make a recommendation.

    Either way to Sacramento is fine: 99 or 5, but take I-80 to Rocklin (not Business 80). They both connect on the NE side of Sacramento so they'll dump you near our office anyway as 80 joins up again. I-80 is just a bit quicker since it doesn't go through downtown Sacramento. From I-80, exit hwy 65 towards Marysville. Your first light is Sunset. Turn right and drive 1/2 mile and take another right at your first light onto Atherton. We're in that complex at the corner of Atherton and Menlo.

    See you Saturday!

    Okay, I just booked my flight. I'll arrive at Sacramento Airport (SMF) at 12:06pm (just after noon) on Saturday.
    If I could bum a ride with anyone that would be great. Otherwise I'll rent a car I guess. If you can offer a ride send me a PM.

    I can't wait to see everyone at the party...I mean expo.
