I'm hoping to organise a get together the evening of the 31st for all SCF'rs that are attending, kinda like a break the ice have a few beers thing. Hope to see and meet many of y'all.

...sounds great! I'll arrive at the hotel around 8pm on August 31. Keep us posted!

Andrew, I also did not get a confirmation so emailed back to John Bacus and got the reply that as first rounders, we did not need a confirmation (however would have been better maybe so that we need not worry).

Phew!!! Reading Pete's post just made my heart sink. For a moment I wasn't one the list!!!

Now I just need to get lucky with flights.......

Hum ... No event after 4:30. But I understand that all meals are provided. So maybe we have a diner gathering then, no ?
Anyway I would indeed like to be part of that outgoing on day 1.
Does staying at Best Western involve taxi riding to the meetings ?

Best Western just a few blocks away from Google. Downtown 10-15 blocks away, easy walk or short bus ride. RTD also has a bus that goes to/from Boulder.

Can I take my bike on the plane? That would be nice to have my bike there with me

Unless you just really have to have your bike, rental would probably cost less than the fee to bring it on the plane, plus the hassle to bring it. FullCycle is about 6-7 blocks from Google.

Dave look at the event website, it says:

Location & Transportation: The event will be held at 26th Street and Walnut.

Which means the Best Western is one block away from event.

Gaieus

Pete, you thought your hotel was just one block away in Mountin View as well until we had to send a whole expedition after you...

DavidBoulder

Sorry,

Best Western is block away from Google.
Downtown (restaurants bars, shops, etc) 10-15 blocks away

It was, but if you remember they did a last minute change, I ended up in Cupertino (sp) but with the free limo service I was not complaining.

I think Mike still has video of an inebriated limo expedition.

Never mind, he has never managed to share any of those videos (I have not seen myself either - not as if I minded...)

I'll be in attendance at this year's Basecamp too. I'm really looking forward to seeing my old sketchup friends and meeting new ones.

Is the Best Western where others are planning to stay? From the previous two basecamps I've learned it is desirable to stay where many others are staying -- it just makes it easier to stay connected.

Regards, Ross

Great to hear from you Ross. And glad you will be there. From what I have heard most are staying at the Best Western yes. At least me and a few other people I have been in contact with.

Armando Marrero

Hi , I would love to attend the 3D Base Camp. what do I need to register? some one to nominate me?

Whaat

I can't believe I only found out about this yesterday! I'm really hoping to go this year. Apparently, I am being nominated but I'm not sure what happens next. Hopefully, everything will work out and I can meet up with the lot of you. Can't wait!

solo

Hey Dale, long time no post.

I too nominated you, using your @shaw address (hope that's a current email)

Would be great to see you at basecamp, maybe even get a peek at SDS2.

Thanks, solo!

We'll have to wait and see about a sneak peek at SDS2, though...

Gaieus

Hi Bossy Rossy, indeed long time no see! Hope to meet you again although the Pacific is a bit further now.

Dale; also hope your nomination still makes it in time!

Ross Macintosh

Great to see that pic again Csaba! Looks like you peed your pants. Mike was having a bad hair day.
