Carpooling from Eugene to OSCON on Thursday?

Hi. I'll be coming to OSCON from Eugene on Thursday, July 24 (leaving Eugene approx 9am and returning at night). Anyone doing the same and wanting to share a ride (I'm open to taking my car or yours)?

I didn't get any responses yet, so I think my carpooling chances are dwindling. Also, I was able to free up my schedule in order to leave today at around 4:30, and try to make it to this welcome event. I'm looking forward to seeing you all there!

sorry i missed it!

once again, i missed the drupal fun. and team oyoaha too. :)

so it goes in the life of the busy programmer/father-type. perhaps next time i just need to bring one (or both) of my girls. they are learning php by osmosis anyway. why not ruin them for good?

Awesome job, wonderful party

Well done to the organisers. It was a great party with plenty of stellar guests and great company. Matt was there, as were amazon and webchick... oh and Rasmus Lerdorf, the inventor of PHP... and others. I met Drupalers from Michigan, Texas, Montreal and a couple of other places. I had a wonderful time and was there over 4 hours. The food was excellent and I'm told the booze was too. Thanks very much to the sponsors. A stellar mini-event, best I've been to in a while.

I agree 100%

It was a great event. Kudos to Melissa and Michael for putting together a wonderful evening. People in this town need to stop putting together such great events with such little lead time or people will start to expect it ;)

In Detroit, of all places

Sorry I missed this one --

Some client work pulled me to the Motor City. Sounds like a great event all around.

Cheers,
