I am actually not going to be able to go...but it has nothing to do with the nine hour (well...technically, _18_ hour, unless you're ditching your car in Boise) drive, which is a right-of passage / geek buddy movie / bonding experience, that for me really made last year's BCC special.
Besides, in this modern, internet everywhere, always connected world, how often do you spend 9 hours with literally nothing to do but talk with friends (yeah, seriously, no twitter, no facebook, there's not even GPRS available for most of the trip. Make sure you know which roads you're going to be taking _before_ you lose your bars and google maps.) If Aaron and Justin were in the car they'd probably have created a startup by the time they got back. It's not a drive you want to do alone, but if you can get several people together it's a lot of fun, still cheaper than flying, and I recommend it. --c On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 21:07, Glenn Block <[email protected]> wrote: > I am going..didn't get my flight yet but I flew last time and er liked it > much better than the 9 hour drive in the middle of no where. > > > On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 11:20 PM, Karl Shifflett <[email protected]>wrote: > >> I’m flying into Boise.
