Hi all, My conference proposal last year was turned down b/c of our budget crunch, and I'm wondering what I can do to increase the likelihood of approval this year. I'm wondering if anyone in a similar situation would be interested in the idea of an NYC metro carpool for the ~12 hour drive to and from Asheville in Feb? If someone has a car available (I don't) we could use it, or else rent a car if we had at least, say, 4 people. (Also perhaps this wouldn't be as feasible for the luggage-heavy travelers among us.) We would have to discuss whether to go for the precons or not. My estimation of car rental + gas is roughly $500 total for a 5- seater, so figure about $100 per person with five. Airfare, by contrast, is about $300. I would suggest that each person put in a deposit of $75, so in case of one or more bailouts, no one gets stuck paying for (much) more than expected. If all bail, all get the money back. There's no telling until prob. after registration whether MPOW will give me registration & hotel money, so I might myself bail; if it does go through, I'd be up for renting & driving.
