Hey everyone,

I'm looking forward to seeing y'all next week!

If you haven't responded yet, please let me know if you'll be able to make it to Casa Bitner next Tuesday so I know how much food/beer to get. 

Feel free to show up anytime after 6.

The address is:
300 E 48th St, Minneapolis, MN 55419
Brick house on the NE corner of 3rd Ave S and E 48th St

Google Transit directions work fairly well if you're adventurous and would like to try hopping the bus (20-40 minute bus ride from Marriott, 40-60 from the airport). 

Google Directions also work well for my address if you have a car. (Basically from Interstate 35W take the 46th St Exit, go east for one block to 3rd Ave S, south to 48th st)

For the even more adventurous, if you want to hop a NiceRide bike, there are no stations around my house, but I could still give you some great bike routes to get here if you let me know (just be prepared to pay a bit more)!

If you would like to get a car service, I'd recommend Mark Sifflet 612-483-9218. He actually used to be a neighbor so you could just drop my name and he'll get you here from either the Marriott or the Airport. He also has reasonable rates to/from the airport let him know you're with FOSS4GNA. I'd suggest calling ahead and leaving your flight information or time that you'd like a ride.

Cabs in MN must be called and cannot just be hailed unless at a taxi stand. From the Airport or Marriott, there should be cabs available in the taxi areas.

Give me a call at 612-424-9932 if you get lost or have any questions!

I look forward to seeing you all next week!

David

Hey folks,

I just wanted to give y'all an invitation to come to my home for a bit of a BBQ the Tuesday night (March 21) before the conference.

This isn't a conference planned activity and my home is not too large, so would appreciate if you could RSVP if you can make it. If there are folks you'd like to bring with you, please let me know -- I just can't accommodate the whole conference!

Plan is just to have some home smoked BBQ, some beers, and some lawn games starting around 6 and kicking folks out before midnight.

My home is an easy bus ride from the conference site (and surrounding hotels) or a short cab ride / drive. 300 E 48th St., Minneapolis, MN 55419.

I look forward to seeing you all in May!

David
