Interested! :) But I've heard that it takes almost 2hrs and quite some bucks to take public transport from DC to there. If you're interested, we could simply take a taxi. It takes about $74 one way though. If we could get a group of at least 3, it would be quite reasonable to take the taxi. Or if you dont like taxis, I dont have a problem with public transport ;)
I need to be back here by 17:00 (5pm) though, to start my trek back to NYC/JFK and then home. So we could take a taxi back as well. I'm in HIDC room 505 if anyone is interested in grouping up for this. :) > From: [email protected] > Date: Sat, 14 Jul 2012 18:09:18 -0400 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Wikimania-l] Steven F.
