I meant, has the 8 been there before, or is it a teaser for basecamp ...

Dear Mike,
The 'John B' reference brings back a few memories

Ah! Those were the days when learning to use a slide rule was the most complicated thing I had to do.

I'll be going to Basecamp with my colleague David Lopes (a long-time SketchUp user). We have our flights booked and a reservation at the Best Western. Unfortunately we don't arrive until Wed. morning and our flight out of Denver is Friday evening. Boulder is such a nice place it would have been great to spend more time in the area.
As you can see from the attached graphic David and I face a brutal trip back home given that we are aren't leaving the continent. Kind-a crazy really.
Regards, Ross

Wow! Too bad you won't get to see some of the countryside as you go. Still, my trip will take longer than your homeward trip but I'm driving. The long way across Nebraska is going to be fun.

True we won't see much scenery flying but we will get to see the insides of four different airports!
-
I wish I could go, but the flight alone would be some $1800.

I got the okay from my office to attend yesterday...woohoo!! Just waiting on official confirmation from Google. Hopefully I'll be able to make the Tuesday dinner and meet everybody...(or meet again if we bumped into one another at the Googleplex).
-
Great graphic Ross, pity you can't stay for the week. We could do our normal tour around although I remember we did such a tour with Alan and Al the last time we were there.
-
I got a Golden Ticket!
Woo-Hoo!
Wish I could make it for the Tuesday night dinner so I could meet all you guys before the lessons start, but looking like I will fly in the morning of the conference to save a $100+.
Anyhoo...anyone else still needing a nomination, I got 10 and they have to be in by the 21st...so let me know.

The cost will be rather prohibitve coming from Europe for sure.
Is anyone from across Oceans for sure planning on coming out? Or would come out if they got in?
I got a pretty good deal, return flight for less then £500 and I only booked it this week! Still looking for hotels, think $100 a night would be my limit but dont seem to be able to get anything under $130
anybody got any ideas? Got my travel agent ringing round for me lol hopefully she will find something for me this week. -
Best Western is €76 per night with continental breakfast. Think it's call Buff Lodge and it's around the corner from the event. I think a few could be staying there?
-
ok thanks ill check it out, pretty expensive I thought there owuld be an american version or travel lodge or something its easy to find one in the UK for less than £50 a night!
-
Quality Inn in Boulder is $125, but looks like you can get it down to $105 if you join rewards program (I think free?). They also have breakfast and make nice warm cookies in the afternoon. 6 blocks or so from Google.

Also a big group of 5 or so could get a 3BR cabin at Chautauqua for $200-275. You could step right out of your door for a nice morning hike and then have breakfast in beautiful lodge. Probably want a car to get around easier though.

so is there a form or something I fill out to nominate others? I have a friend who might like to go.

I think on the email we got there where 2 links, 1 form to fill out for yourself and one to nominate people but it has to be done soon I think?

Is anybody staying at the Hotel Boulderado? http://www.boulderado.com/ I will and I have a rental car, if somebody wants to carpool...lemme know. Got a great package deal through Hotwire.com
