Offering

Yitzchak Schaffer is tentatively (as of 16 Dec 09, waiting for word on funding approval) organizing a carpool from or through the NYC area to the con in Asheville, NC. See [1] for the original proposal, the idea being to rent a car/van, or use someone's if possible. I do not plan on might be attending the precons, if it's make-or-break.

A new section for precon people:

• Anna Headley (Philly PA) have car but not attached to using it (won't fit 5 if we want to avoid violence -- 4 max)
• Gabriel Farrell (Philly, PA) have truck but it's old and doesn't get great mileage (ain't no tesla roadster)
• Cory Rockliff (NYC) non-driver. also, still waiting for word on funding.
• Edward Corrado (Binghamton, NY) - waiting on ruling about library van (not sure if non-SUNY or non-Binghamton Univ. people are allowed in for insurance reasons, but might be interested in sharing personal car if someone to help pay expenses can be found)
