If this alleviates the transportation problem a little bit, I'm all for it. I'm gonna be a hopeless noob here, but during the Copenhagen meet, transportation was handled mostly through a car/van pool, right? Wish I could help there, but I'm painfully vehicle-less for the near future. I'll just have to be a lecherous parasite for my first meet...just kidding.
As for luxury accommodations? We're all a bunch of submarine geeks here, Neal. Most of us probably
embrace the idea of having 30 inches between bunks, and find the idea of sleeping in another man's filth an amusing novelty.
