Yeah, where will we all keep our suitcases full of cash. . .and our 12 different passports.
-
Right got all my flights booked, paid and confirmed!
Ill be in boulder about 7pm monday night so if anybody will be around then let me know Ill be longing for a pint after sitting on a tiny chair for 12 hours!! -
I can recommend the Gershwin Hotel in NY http://www.gershwinhotel.com/. It has 4- and 8-bunk rooms on a first-come-first serve basis, catering to international budget travelers and all other cheap people. The private rooms can be reserved. The men's and co-ed rooms are a bit messy, but the price is right (~$20 just over 10 years ago.) Its located centrally, close to the Empire State Building. It also has a 13th floor. I always got a kick out of trying to read the non-English labels of the toiletries others left behind.
There's a hostel in Boulder http://boulderinternationalhostel.com/ with very attractive rates. Anyone can stay. It's located about 7 football fields from the basecamp among the university fraternities. The AB bus from Denver airport stops 2 block away. The bus cost $12 and reportedly runs more often than the super shuttle.

I'm booked for the Best Western Golden Bluff Lodge. See you all there.
I like the idea of SketchUcation members using their nicknames for the event--especially the admins. In fact, can we just call you all by your board names?
-
Did anyone get an email today or even earlier asking to fill in a Google Doc Form with arrival times etc...?
10am start for Registration on the 1st. Will Solo's party have finished by then?
-
Yep, just did receive it.
-
Just got that e-mail and filled out the form.
Good question about Solo's party. It'll be interesting to see who drags in looking like something a cat coughed up.
-
Solo's party? no, just a few beers to get to know one another before event.
Csaba, Mike and myself will be perfectly behaved hosts
-
Yup, I have justreceived the email myself, too. There is already one program point - breakfast at the Dairy Center (I dunno about these dairy products the morning after tho - maybe I will really look like Mr. Green )
-
Nothing to do with milk anymore. An old dairy plant converted to an arts center. By the way, plenty of good places around town for those looking for good breakfast before Thursday's and Friday's BaseCamp.
What I thought was funny about the agenda. Is that we move from Breakfast/registration, right into lunch. Will be some full belly's when the keynote starts at 1pm.
-
That is unless breakfast consists of a "waaffer thin mint".
-
My experiance with Google is that they do 'FOOD' well, especially last base camp where I gained a few pounds from all the good food.
-
-
Hum.. I wonder why they are asking about our arrival time.
Group pickUp at the airport ? -
Maybe numbers needed for food? Or something along those lines?

Group pickUp at the airport ?This was on the main Basecamp site, maybe they are wondering when to have them.
"Outdoor-themed activities, such as a walking tour of Boulder or an early morning hike in the Rockies!"By the way, unrelated to this, here is my list of breakfast restaurants
http://www.luciles.com/ (taste of New Orleans)
http://www.chautauqua.com/dining_hall.htm (most scenic)
http://www.boulderteahouse.com/ (best tea)
http://www.walnutcafe.com/ (basic breakfast)
The Best Western is also supposed to have a really good place right there.Tons of others, but these are some of the highlights.
-
David, got any good places to hang out at night?
-
I'm going to Basecamp, I'm going to Basecamp!!!!
International flight sale came out in Australia two days ago so I pounced!!!!
Got someone to cover for me at work so I really had no excuse.Fly into Denver 31AUG at 1pm so I guess get the super shuttle to Boulder from there. Flying out 04SETP [Saturday] at 6.50pm So I will hang in Boulder for the day Saturday.
Let me jump and shout again!!!!
-
Great Andrew.
I arrive in Denver at 4:37 on the 31st. If you are still waiting for the shuttle we can share a cab into town
-
I hope to be out of the airport by then Eric, I get in at 1pm and will be like 'a sailor on leave' or 'a kid in a candy shop' if you know what I mean.... Beside, don't want to be late for the party!!!!!
Happy to share though if I'm still there.
