Truckin', down to KansasFest

[hackett@gaul.csd.uwo.ca (Mike Hackett)]

First off, I'm sorry this went out to everybody, but I don't know how to
limit the distribution to just Southern Ontario and Western N.Y.  If
anyone knows and cares to tell me how to do this, for future use, please
email me the details.

OK, my actual post is this.  I'm seriously considering attending KansasFest
this year, but I haven't figured out exactly how I'm going to get down
there.  The cost of the conference is already pretty high for me, so I'm
pretty sure that I could not afford airfare on top of that.  What I'd like
to know, first of all, is anyone from my area (Southern Ontario or 
Northwestern New York) making the trip?  And if so, could you tell me what 
your travel plans are, if you don't mind?  (email please)  If anyone is 
actually planning to make the drive and wouldn't mind picking up a hitcher,
I'd gladly pitch in for gas.

My next alternative is a bus/train combination.  I can get a bus from
Hamilton to Chicago, and I've been told I can take a train from Chicago
Kansas City.  Is there anyone in Chicago that could give me an idea of
how much that would cost?


Sorry about the non-computer content here, but the replies should all
be in email, so hopefully this won't disturb anyone.  Thanks.
