I am planning on attending for the 3rd time this year.  I will probably drive again and I am open to having anyone come up there with me if they want to share expenses.

I am approx. 65 miles East of Los Angeles and about a mile and a quarter closer to the Sun, if anyone is interested.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

I will be there!  Looking forward to buying an A1200 Tower and more from you, Matthew.

Thanks for meeting up with me in Cardiff,

I really want to go. I have never been to an amiga shindig, or to the usa. So it would be a to-for-one for me :)
 
Best from Arnljot in Crete!

Looking over my finances after an expensive vaccation, and lots of shopping @ebay and amibay this summer.

I still might afford to go :)

But what's the difference between the SAC and SMF airports?

Also, how much is it to stay at the hotel? hotels.com says rates are from $80 per night.

Also, for us europeans coming over. What's the best way to go to SF and where to stay there. It's after all a 22h+ plane trip, so it would be nice to see a little more, once "over there".

Flying into SFO is much cheaper- you can hitch a ride with us upto Sacramento if you want.

@ Amigakit:

Are you based in Wales and do you have a "real" shop?  My wife and I are planning a trip to the UK to visit friends and family.  I'll be in Maesteg for a while and my wife is a Torchwood fan so she wants to visit the "Torchwood Tower" in Cardiff and see the sights.  I've also got her hooked on football so we're going to watch a Cardiff or Swansea home game (depending on who is actually playing at home while we're there).
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

You may want to fire a quick email off to MAG to register your interest at attending- they need the support.
