To be fair, where I grew up I got yelled at if I got off my ass on a bus...

Rant follows.  It probably has no useful content.  Feel free to
skip.

If there is, it won't be run by me.  You guys are being handed a
great event on a platter, and if those of you who made it to VA
can't get off your asses and take an 8 hour bus ride (the distance
from Fairfax, VA to Troy, MI), I'm not willing to put in the huge
amount of effort to set something up.  I have to *fly* there, FFS;
why should I put in the effort to set it up when people aren't
willing to put in a tiny portion of the effort I have to go to just
to *get there*?
