All,

I know we are all focusing on SXSWi this morning but I wanted to bring up another conference. I sent an email back in Jan regarding the upcoming WordCamp Dallas 2008 happening this month March 29-30 http://groups.google.com/group/wordpress-austin/browse_thread/thread/128213bf76ba8d24. We are getting close (just about 3 weeks away) and need to decide a few things. 1. Who is going. 2. Who is driving (and can take others) 3. Where to stay. Did some checking this morning and the Hampton Inn seems like the best choice. It's within a few miles of the venue and they currently have a $99/night rate. Better than some of the other locations.

Map to Frisco City Hall where WordCamp will be held:

4. When to leave for Dallas. I would prefer to hit Dallas Friday evening. I hate driving in the morning and hitting traffic. This does mean spending 2 nights in the hotel. May be an issue for some. Please respond with thoughts on the above items. Especially the question #1. I'd like to get a head count within the week. Thanks

1. I am going.
2. I am not driving and would definitely appreciate whoever is able to
fit me in. I will split gas for the trip.
3. I'll stay wherever everyone else stays. Hampton sounds good to me.
I'll split a room or get one for myself. It really makes no difference
to me.
4. See #2.
