I'll probably try to assist on one of the building events. Even if that doesn't happen, I'd do a 4-hour drive to be there any take pics/meet e-famous people.starpug wrote:You gonna be there DS?Dark Sabre wrote:It is a great campus...good venue. The 2005 tournament there was nice.
Plus it is less than a 4 hour drive for me
That's another good thing. It's a nice central location. The west coast this year had quite a ways to travel. Illinois is a little closer to the west.Dark Sabre wrote:It is a great campus...good venue. The 2005 tournament there was nice.

*Raises eyebrows* It's only a one hour time difference from PA to IL, unless I'm mistaken... Jetlag shouldn't really be an issue.Helix_Nebula_Freak wrote:I think it's a better place for the NSO...

I dont really care where NSO is. It's the fact that a bunch of geeky and/or nerdy Science Olympians like me can gather for something like this that really touches me...
The only thing about Illinois for me personally is jetlag. I'm not complaining, because Ik how hard it must have been for all you west coast natives, not to mention Hawaii and Alaska, to come to Georgia. Just a minor inconvienice...
i bleieve your correct i went to Wisconsin once there was a little lag but i think that was because planes really tire me outPhenylethylamine wrote:*Raises eyebrows* It's only a one hour time difference from PA to IL, unless I'm mistaken...

, and all goes well, im fine. i mean...one hr. difference isnt that much...and the plane ride shouldnt be that long. as long as its not terribly hot/cold, im good. 
. If I go it will be pretty awesome, the team will have to go on sunday and spend the week there enjoying the attractions. 
I know, that would be sweet!starpug wrote:Can't wait till 2012, that year Nats is in Orlando
You can't complain of jetlag, since you're probably flying out of Pittsburgh. We would probably drive if we made it, and were 6 hours further away.Helix_Nebula_Freak wrote:I think it's a better place for the NSO...
