<cjohnston> Otherwise, stay at chaynie's house

<cjohnston> I know nothing about that?
<chaynie> I think I remember us talking about busing some people around if they weren't staying in the hotel, or wanted to see some of orlando.
<chaynie> I could be wrong though.
<itnet7> chaynie: at past UDS the were reimbursed for their cab fair, I think we should just try to bring larger vehicles and offer to drive people to evening events.

<itnet7> I wanted to get some feedback on who thinks they might be able to attend
<Hamaliel> It's the 23 of Oct?
<chaynie> itnet7: for me it depends on the venue. Price affects attendance.
<itnet7> I am planning to add it on the LoCo Directory, and it would cool if everyone could blog/dent/tweet about ti
<cjohnston> itnet7: im off.. depends on if its somewhere i have tickets for
<itnet7> chaynie: I know what you're saying
<Hamaliel> itnet7: Time is a factor too...I generally work till 3 on Saturdays =\
<itnet7> but if it's any consolation, he wanted to go to Disney at first, and that is a small fortune
cjohnston would rather disney
<itnet7> cjohnston probably has season passes?
<cjohnston> cheaper for me
<itnet7> oh
<cjohnston> no
<cjohnston> just free tix
<mhall119> same result
<itnet7> That is why I didn't put the venue
<cjohnston> seaworld ftw
<itnet7> I know like 5 people that work at Disney
<itnet7> just not sure they can get parkhopper passes for everyone
<pak33m> did anybody say flea world!?

<itnet7> Well I thought about Old Town?
<mhall119> we can bring everyone to Cassadaga
<pak33m> or midnigt bowling
<mhall119> itnet7: not much to old town anymore, downtown disney has more
<pak33m> mini golf
<zoopster> crap....I'm here, but late
<pak33m> most importantly weve got to pick a place that had wifi
<itnet7> He said he was pretty flexible, just thought it would be a ball to hang out with everyone!
<pak33m> oh wait thats for releae parties
<Hamaliel> pak33m: I dunno, wifi in theme parks seems relevant
<cjohnston> motion
<mhall119> tweeting from the rollarcoaster
<itnet7> Well, when I find out more I will let everyone know about the date, He seems pretty sold on Islands of Adventure
<pak33m> Hamaliel: yes, we could have an installfest
<itnet7> not the date the venue
itnet7 hates headcolds
<Hamaliel> pak33m: Or use irc to communicate when it gets too loud on the rollercoasters...imagine the pictures that the park would get...
<pak33m> duder youre dripping on the keyboard
<itnet7> would riding on a roller coaster increase latency to the ap's?
<Hamaliel> itnet7: I think there's a scholarly paper in there somewhere.
<itnet7>
<mhall119> Hamaliel: like http://xkcd.com/249/
<cjohnston>
