Basic Details

25th and 26th of April 2009
Bellingham Technical College, Bellingham, Washington, United States of America.
Approximately 60 minutes by car from Seattle International.
- Rent a car at airport or get a local to drive us: people going with licenses so far: condordes. (Alex if she gets her ID! Bug her!), person driving Chani down?
Carl Symons, the LFNW guy, suggested that for most booths 1-3 people was sufficient [note: that is *in* the booth, presumably]
- How many we need probably depends on how much swag/stealables we'll have and how many people are giving talks. And if we have people who like to eat food or not. Blauzahl

geiser	Philadelphia	~400 USD
chani	Vancouver	not sure (<100?)
alex	Oakland/SFO	<200 USD

Hotel rooms

Which hotel do we get? This sort of depends whether we rent a car or are hitching rides i.e. no hotel is right across the street from the college. Their website lists the following local choices and deals: http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/lodging.html

The Hampton is apparently about 4 km away and danborne does not mind walking. [danborne]

- You might mind walking after being on your feet all day?Blauzahl
If we have some sort of transportation, we could camp... that is pretty much free. We might also ask if they've extra dormintory space.
- I'd think they would have mentioned it if that were an option, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I'd think staying with locals would be more likely. I have no clue how large of a city it is there, so I have no clue how feasible camping is. I guess I do have a sleeping bag now. :D Hauling camping gear on top of the rest of what we're taking sounds suboptimal, however. Blauzahl

-*Carl Symons, the LFNW guy, suggested that for most booths 1-3 people was sufficient; danborne suspects that KDE might need 2-5 by that reasoning, not 6-7. Remember that priority goes to those with the lowest cost and or who are the biggest names, contributors, und so weiter.
