I've been out to that part of the country once (New York when I was like 14) and it seemed pretty nice. I would think that one thing that would be cool about living in that area is all the history that would be available to soak up.bicostp wrote:Then come on over to the northeast!

It has really made start thinking about whether or not I want to continue to live in this part of the country.(Except Buffalo, NY. They get pounded with snow every year.) You just have to worry about drivers around here; Boston's spaghetti road network and Rhode Island in general make for hazardous conditions. I think this year we got a total of a foot ofsnow, and a lot of that came in short spurts that only lingered for a little while.
The only really bad thing? We're far from the MGC.
To tell the truth, your presentation from last year would probably be ok... it was interesting, and most people there aren't from here, so any repeats probably forgot most things between now and then. Plus, you'd probably have a different group of people.

Would it help any if you flew in, rather than drove? With that kind of money, you could fly and still have plenty of money leftover. You're from the Dallas area, if I remember right (ok, I did an IP check to make sureproject_failure wrote:Sorry guys. Seems I can't make it this year.

Next year nothing will Stop me. My only fear is that there may not be a next year.

Another option is to fly to Chicago. Usually the cheapest flights to Milwaukee are those that go to Chicago and then you shuttle to Milwaukee.SpongeBuell wrote:Would it help any if you flew in, rather than drove?

I'd take Northwest, not American, since the planes American used are grounded for inspections and your flight would probably be canceled. From Minneapolis, they have a shuttle that'll take you to the city where I go to school, and you can ride with me to Milwaukee from there. The shuttle would run about $50RT.
Let me know if you're interested, I'd get something before seats fill up/go up in price
