    All signed up and ready to go!

    Hopefully I'll have a completed project to bring. Maybe a few robots could be resurrected.

    Expos are actually a pretty good motivator to get projects done!

    Just a little reminder...


    When registering your hotel room, make sure you mention UPEC & Propeller Expo to insure you receive the discounted room rates! :)

    I booked a room. :-)

    I'm driving from Erie, PA and may be looking to see if someone else along the way would need a ride. I'm leaving Friday morning and will be driving back Sunday.

    Which hotel gave us the room to meet in Friday night last year?

    Hamton Inn..

    I've confirmed the reservation of the meeting room today.. They have it down for us.

    It's downstairs, just outside the lobby.

    Anyone flying into Midway Airport on (Thursday or Friday) that would be willing to give me a ride to the hotel? ... I haven't locked a reservation yet, so my flight and hotel are still flexible at this point, but I need to know soon (in a few days) so I can get this locked.

    I just need a ride there from the Airport to the EXPO, my wife and the girls are driving up and meeting me so I will have a ride after the EXPO.

    Thanks.

    BTW) Does anyone know if the Hampton Inn will allow pets? - EDIT - They do, but their description is vague

    At the very least, I'll probably have a couple of currently-non-functioning robots with me.

    for this event.

    When Lana called to get us booked, they said "we treat dogs like people", no charges, no restrictions on room choices. The mascots are very happy to hear this. Do we want to set up a play date for the babies?

    I'm checked in at the Super 8 Room 303.

    Does anyone plan to have dinner tonight? If so do we know where to meet and what time.

    I can also be reached on my cell 814-460-8571.

    Jim,

    I will be rolling in with OBC and his gang later tonight... my guess is sometime around 6pm (maybe 7pm) at the Hampton Inn. I think there is a dinner get together already planned. EDIT: See #8 above... we have a room to meet and converge. Dinner is open to whomever wants to get together for it.

    Sounds like a much better place than the Hotel that says: "we treat people like dogs" ;-)
