Good idea. Maybe it would be a good Monday night social outing? Otherwise it would have to be a Saturday or Sunday. This weekend is probably bad because of the holiday, but I'd probably be able to make it any other time. Either way folks would need cars or carpools to get there. Septa has spotty daily service to Newark (last train leaves at 7:21 PM) and no weekend service at all. > one thing I personally want to stay away from, though, is the area split > that happened last year with two proposals coming from the philadelphia > area. organizing a conference is lots of work, so if there is interest in a > different philadelphia-area venue I would jump on board with that so that it > is phl.pm playing host, rather than go it alone again this year.
