FUDBus final details (incl. Boston lodging)

[Mel Chua]

This email is long, but it contains (afaik) all FUDBus details, so 
please read it all the way through.

You're getting (probably Bcc'd on) this email because you're listed on 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:FUDCon_Toronto_2009_logistics#People_riding_the_bus 
as a bus rider, or on 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:FUDCon_Toronto_2009_logistics#Need_Boston_lodging 
as someone who needs housing in Boston. (With the exception of Sarah 
Lumens, who I don't have an email for - please forward if you do.) 
Please make sure you're on the right list(s) - if you're not on the 
first list, we won't be checking to make sure you're on the bus before 
it leaves! And if you're not on the second list, we won't be checking to 
make sure you have a place to stay in Boston!

Ok, now, details:

First, make *sure* you have your passport! (Or the magic card that lets 
you cross the border, whatever that's called.) Bus Henchme... er, 
monitors Smooge and Ian will be checking for this as people get on the bus.

Second, my phone number is +1.847.970.8484. Use it liberally (text 
messages preferred) on the days of our bus rides as needed, ESPECIALLY 
if you're going to be running late (but please don't, as it holds up 
everybody else).

Second, details on pickup timing and exact location are at 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Toronto_2009#Bus_Travel. I will be 
at Alewife half an hour early on Friday (8:30am, 9am departure). I will 
be in the hotel lobby half an hour early on Tuesday (9am, 9:30am 
departure). I will find some way to make it super-obvious that this is 
the FUDBus pickup station (creative ideas/help welcome ;).

Third, Boston-area lodging: f you live in Boston and might be able to 
host an out-of-town rider, please check out the 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:FUDCon_Toronto_2009_logistics#Can_offer_Boston_lodging 
section and get in touch with folks looking for couches, and if you're 
coming from out of town and need housing, please see 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:FUDCon_Toronto_2009_logistics#Need_Boston_lodging. 
These are the lists I'll be watching to make sure everyone has places to 
sleep in Boston if they need it.

Thanks, all - looking forward to our FUDBus adventure next week!
