Damn, but I had a good time this weekend.

SitS'08 Quotes will follow soon.  Right now, it's too hot here in MA to think.  Just one request, though.  As and when the crew get home from Boston, could you please sound off in the comments here so I know you're back safe and sound?

I've ordered our projector.  The price works out to about $13 per person--not bad.  I recall that several people were kind enough to volunteer to bring a DVD player when we originally discussed this.  Could somebody please bring either a DVD player or a PC with a DVD player which I can hook up to the projector?  The projector company will be ( Read more... )

Our best bet is to rent a projector for the weekend.  I've called around, and there is a good price available from projector123.com.  It looks like it'll come to $130 to rent it from Thursday to Sunday.  That seems fine to me.  If there are ten of us, that's only $13 apiece.  However many of us come, I'll see that you guys don't have to chip in ( Read more... )
