Re: [CON] ECC VIII

Heck, we can even get you from Dulles to Lancaster.  Or Baltimore to
Lancaster (if either of those offer better fares).

Lessee -- 

Columbus to Dulles $69.  Does that work?

That's for the Thursday before.  And we can certainly put you up for the
night.	Or direct you to one of the lower priced multitudes of hotels in
the area if you prefer.

Oh, and I will vouch for the airline -- they are cheap in pricing but
they are very good in service.

PS -- That price is truly sickening!  I think it cost me $400 to get
from St Louis to Lancaster the first year I came to ECC.

don't need a return flight (unless that's a condition for a super cheap
fare) as I'll be flying home to Australia afterwards and work has
covered that. If on the other hand there is someone in the local area
heading in the right direction I could help on fuel etc ;)

Are you trying to fly into Philadelphia or Harrisburg?	We can get you
from Harrisburg to Lancaster.

We don't have anyone signed up for the convention from Columbus, OH
right now.  Brian Bell is from Columbus, but he hasn't attended ECC
for a few years.

Mike Miserendino attended last year and drove out from Indianapolis.

The other Ohio folks are coming from the Cleveland area.
