Hi all,
A number of people are planning to go out to the New Jersey camp [ http://www.drupalcampnj.org ] Saturday. I want to go out just for the sprint on Sunday and am hoping to find people to join me (either on the 8:30 am train from Penn Station or in a Zip if there are enough of us). Please let me know if you're interested (and of course use this thread to plan attendance at any camp-related activities, including Friday trainings:-).

What, you're not a football fan?
Irene, thanks for starting this thread.
It could be very interesting to travel on Sunday with the Super Bowl going on.
There's a possibility that I will go, but don't know for sure yet.
Am definitely going Fri. and Sat. and plan to take NJ Transit trains both days from my NJ town of Wood-Ridge.
How to get there
There are 2 trains Saturday morning, I believe they leave at 8:15a & 9:58a (?).
Best to plan on taking the 1st; the 2nd will barely get you there in time for the keynote, missing the opening plenary.
First take the train to Princeton Junction, then transfer to the Dinky to Princeton Station. (Princeton Junction is a long walk from where you're going!)
I gather a group of NYC'ers will be meeting up at Penn Station sometime after 7:00a to share a (train) car.
the Dinky
njtransit.com shows the Dinky departing from Princeton Junction at 9:05, 9:30, 10:08, etc on Sat. It's only a five minute ride but looks like a couple of miles at least to Princeton Univ. Then you also have to make it to the sessions venue at the other side of the campus.
I'm planning to catch the train leaving Penn Sta. at 7:14 but I'll get on in Secaucus. Unfortunately, it looks like a 40 minute layover to catch the first Dinky run at 9:05.
But as much as I'm not a morning person, I don't want to miss the keynote by Brian Kernighan. His book "The Elements of Programming Style" taught me that program code is a form of writing and an art to be practiced.
