Paul Graham's Startup School - Coordinating

Date: 27 September, 2005 - 15:07

For anyone who has gotten an invite to attend Startup School, I've decided to open up a thread for people who are looking to coordinate transportation.

If you are going, please respond to this entry with WHERE you are coming from (city, state is sufficient) and HOW to get a hold of reaching you. If you want to include information on how you're getting there/back and what your housing arrangements are, that'd be fine too.

If someone finds a great deal and/or has connections for housing, we can hopefully save each other a bit of cash.

Here's mine:

I'll be coming from Washington, DC via Amtrak probably leaving Friday evening and getting in about an hour before hand. I'll be coming back late that evening via train also. Total cost appears to be just under $200.

I'm coming from Toronto, Canada via Greyhound or Amtrak, total cost around $200. I'm a student myself and I'm talking to friends with contacts at mit and Harvard about options for staying overnight. I hope to cut costs by staying overnight in somebody's dorm/house.

Some Info

Not sure how much use this will be, but here's a list of their campus groups: http://www.mit.edu/life/category/lg.html

If you happen to be a member of a related organization, that might be a place to start. My fraternity is represented there, but I can't really offer their facilities to people.

Also, check out the wiki I put up for getting people together who might want to work on a startup together.

cheap amtrak tickets

Submitted by drew (not verified) on 3 October, 2005 - 00:51.

Here's a re-post from the travel wiki, but your travel plans seem very similar to ours and I wouldn't want you to miss out on the cheap tickets:

If we get a group together, Amtrak can be cheap. Two of us are taking the Amtrak; leaving Friday night, arriving Saturday morning. Each additional person is 90% off. If 6 of us go together, it comes out to about $27 per person each way. Here's a link to the deal:

If you're interested, drop me a line: web.drew@overt.org

We're thinking about leaving from BWI, but can be flexible.
