that probably could work.

the weekends are going to be increasingly more difficult, with holidays,
summer vacations, and OSCon.  but I'm game if others are.

I wasn't aware that septa had service to newark at all - the last time I did
it via public transportation (um, how many years ago ;) it was the regional
to wilmington then a bus to newark.  or you could take the one amtrak train
a day that stopped there :)  in either case, the rail station is not within
reasonable walking distance to where we want to be on campus (IIRC).

so yes, we would need to carpool, for which I volunteer to take from 1 to 6
people (depending on whether I have the pickup available or a possibly new
minivan).
