I'm probably attending GIGSE, and spending a while there before or after just hanging.

Anybody up for a meet? =)

how much does it cost in gas from Montreal to Detroit? I've still never been in the US of A, but I hear intra-American flights are expensive as hell, but if somebody is willing to drive e.g. from Detroit to Montreal for a visit, and then maybe back to Montreal, I'd be happy to sponsor the trip in exchange for a passenger seat

well, actually not so expensive. I got a flight listed for 190 euros, which isn't wallet-splitting at all. But what about the gas?

oh, and if there's anyone willing to provide accommodation for a couple-few days, that'll extend my air travel budget by the amount reduced from my hotel budget.

wow, that's quite a hike. 10hour drive or so. still, it may be a fun road trip. that's 5.5-600 miles or so, or about $70 in gas for my car.

I've got a few friends who are always looking for road trips (work schedule permitting, of course), I'll talk to them and see if they want to make a trip outa it. Should be fun

I'm not up to going to Montreal, especially in a car (I've drove it once, one way and it took 8 hours). If you end up going to Detroit let me know. It would be cool to meet-up.

Montreal is about 4.5 hours for me, not a bad drive. That said I won't be there, I'll be somewhere else probably.

Miss you guys.

hell, looks like Montreal is like right next to New York.

Would that be a suitable meeting point for more people? It's darn cheap flying back home from NY.

Update: very hard getting home from Detroit So New York would be much better I think.

don't worry about detroit; i've got a flexible job, lots of extra cash in the bank, and an itching desire to road trip anyways

just lemme know where you end up, and i'll meet you there.

haha, great!

I'm almost settled on New York, just the dates are still a bit open. I'll let you know monday, cause that's when I really have to book the flights (at least to and from America, internal flights I can book a little later)

I can pick people up along the way from Detroit to NY if need be. At the moment I've got a station wagon, but I'm probably going to end up with a hatchback of somesort by June. Maybe a VW Golf, Honda Civic, or Saab 9-something-or-other. So I can grab a couple of people
