OK.  I have a car full driving Friday night, returning Sunday morning. So 
there's that.

!!! If you are planning on attending Friday Tracks please speak up!
There is at least one person presenting on Friday that would like to car pool. !!!

$20 or $50, up to you.


Hotel: Springfield Inn
3636 NW Loop 410
San Antonio, TX 78201
$99/day - single bed under TXLF group (sold out of allocated doubles).
$109/day - double with sleeper sofa (they have them, just not under TXLF rate)

*Bus:*
$5!
Drive time listed as 5H 21m
Dropped off at 4th and Broadway. (7mi/15mins away)

So factor in cab fare for all involved.
Or city bus is reasonable at 40 mins (and two 5 minute walks after 11pm) .
More than 4 people in a group, which would be awesome BTW.

*Carpool (from the Makerspace):*
$20!

Direct driving is just under 5 hrs.
600mi round trip, 34MPG in the Honda Fit = 17.6 gallons@ $3.30 = $60
(rounding up from $58).
4 people splitting the cost is $15ea, plus $5 tip for expert driving and
snacks for driver...
No extra costs like cabs, but limited to 4 people per car.

When posting please state:
1) how many seats you have/need
2) what day/time you want to leave
3) if you need to return by a certain time (staying for dinner Sat night?)
4) hotel room bed (need a bed, have extra bed(s) )

Examples:
If you are driving: you would have 3 seats free, leaving Friday night as close 
to 6pm as possible, returning Sat night.
If you are looking to join a pool: need 1 seat, Friday after work,  return by 
2pm Sunday.

Currently we have Leland Flynn and Gabriel Beddingfield looking to join a 
carpool for Friday after work.
