I'd love to, but since I'm so broke and had to sell my beloved Audi, and live in transportationless Arlington, I'm stuck like Chuck. Anyone passing through Arlington willing to give an impoverished techie a ride? I'm dying to go. Maemo plus free appetizers could really cheer me up...

Guess not. Bummer.

I can't say for sure Chris. I'm cutting it close but if I can get out early enough I'll try to run down that way... I'll let you know tomorrow.

I got a ride, so I'm good. Thanks, though, texrat.

Damnit, too tempting. I'll see you all there; making calls now to shuffle my schedule around. :)

We used Yahoo's map directions from the Meetup page, and they were horrible. I didn't make it because I couldn't find it. Got home, used Google Maps and Ovi Maps and got much better directions. Hate I missed it. Wasted lots of gas looking for John Carpenter Freeway...

Got lost using sucky directions from the meetup site since I don't have a working mobile atm. Never found the place. Google Maps directions were flawless, but well after the fact. I really need a mobile. I forgot what its like to not have a GPS in my pocket. Who gets lost in this day and age??

Hope you guys had a blast.

I wish mapping software would use generic highway names. If you aren't from Irving, how do you know John Carpenter is 114?? Or Tom Landry is I-30 in Arlington? The maps on the RSVP page gave impossible directions, since you can't turn right onto W John Carpenter without first exiting Valley View. Might try linking to a better map than trusting Yahoo next time.

I'm going to print the impossible route they gave me on MF. I would've had to jump a bridge to follow their directions.

I wish you stopped moaning.
