22:26:19 rbergeron: correct 22:26:24 is there a nearby bowling alley or anythign else similar? 22:26:32 ianweller: also, .... shit, i forgot 22:26:50 not sure if there's close stuff downtown 22:27:27 ianweller: it's possible nobody will have full capacity capabilities, so that's somethign to bear in mind. 22:27:42 rbergeron: yeah. 22:27:59 ianweller: while you ahve them on you should about reserving one of the meeting rooms in the hotel as well, etc. 22:28:08 rbergeron: hack space? 22:28:12 We can get them to sign a "we don't care about if you bring in your own pizza" waiver later. 22:28:17 yeah, whatever we want to call it. 22:28:34 Springhills generally have some decent lobby space anyway, though not like the marriott in tempe or the inn in blacksburg. 22:28:38 But they are nice. 22:28:46 anyway. it's a college town, we will have options for fudpub 22:28:58 not as big of a deal as the hotel ;) 22:29:14 shall we move to the next topic? 22:30:00 what would beefy say? 22:30:04 #topic in-lawrence transportation 22:30:17 You're getting the wienermobile, right? 22:30:28 if you can find extra budget, yes 22:30:34 :) 22:30:45 oh 22:31:00 They only hold like 15 people, it's not very efficient, tbh 22:31:05 there's a company in lawrence that runs the bus system 22:31:12 we *can* use public transit 22:31:13 but 22:31:24 that's not especially efficient either 22:31:46 so my plan is to call the company that runs them 22:32:11 kim from ku told me they have rates for private buses, she didn't have them off hand 22:32:29 so we can have shuttle buses to get to and from the ku campus 22:32:50 okay 22:32:54 ithink that seems reasonable 22:33:01 it worked well for the folks in KL 22:33:05 we might get city public transit buses, or school buses, depending on what they can do ;) 22:33:08 and also - people re motivated to not have to do exercise 22:33:10 and stuff. 22:33:10 :) 22:33:15 sometimes those big airport shuttle buses are also for hire...bachelorette party in atlanta ;) 22:33:15 yeah 22:33:17 including me. 22:33:21 Can we paint the bus like a hot dog? 22:33:22 not a bad walk though 22:33:32 from north downtown to engineering 22:33:37 maybe 20-30 min 22:33:39 graphite6: or there is the one like my sister's bachelorette party that had a stripper pole. 22:33:42 If it's snowing, I'm not walking a half hour. 22:33:47 right. 22:33:48 Just laying that out now. :D 22:33:56 neither am i. 22:34:02 * suehle is insulated like a kid who grew up in Florida, which is to say, not at all 22:34:17 * ianweller tends to not go to class when it snows 22:34:20 but anyway 22:34:29 rbergeron: so that's what those poles were for! 22:35:39 anyway 22:35:58 graphite6: yes 22:36:08 shuttle buses will be what we do 22:36:35 #topic pre-registration and funding requests 22:36:48 suehle: we could get those little alaskan dogs and sleds 22:37:04 Mush!
