4. I will be hosting. I will be glad to meet you MM. Perhaps

if you are out of town, you might want to post a city and find other DUers to travel with.

6. I'm coming from the Ann Arbor area.

I plan on driving, and if others want a ride they are welcome to come with me.
Once I finalize everything I will post details. I will likely drive down Friday and get a hotel room, so I don't have to leave at 5 in the morning Saturday. If there is any sort of DU gathering Saturday night, I will maybe stay over Saturday as well...

Either way, I look forward to meeting you too, MM!

5. I'm in Cincinnati. If I can arrange childcare I will definitely go... Is

there a deadline to register? I might not know for a day or two if I can get childcare, but it shouldn't be a problem.

And it would be great to meet some more people involved in this -- being in my 99.9% "red" place of employment and my 98% "red" neighborhood, I don't have many outlets...

15. Sounds interesting

I'm seriously considering going. My only hesitation is going alone. I'd have to drive up on Friday and stay somewhere or I couldn't get up early enough to be there. Sounds like it would be worth it though.
