i didn't realize until last night that the finals had been moved to sunday. this throws a wrench in my plans to compete, and i got feedback from a lot of people last night who had similar concerns. let's mitigate as much of this as possible by setting up carpools!
- this doesn't have to be considered a three-day event. there's enough time to qualify on saturday that you'll only need a hotel/couch/floor for saturday night.
- there aren't any trains leaving late enough to be "safe" considering the 1:00PM start time on sunday. take the train to portland and get a ride back like i'm hoping to, or carpool both ways.
- drivers can pack their cars for help with gas money.
post here if you're willing to drive or are looking for a ride. i'm sure we can make this work for most of the people who want to attend.
