Looks like we will be able to accommodate people who wish to stay overnight. We need to figure out roughly how many people wish to stay over so we can get air matresses, etc. I'm guessing "campers" will bring their own sleeping bags, etc.? Ray 17:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Please add your name if you are planning on this option do you need a sleeping bag?:

There's a Marriott's across the bridge. A short walk.

Does anybody know how long this walk is, is it easy to walk across the bridge? Simon Koldyk

* I was just looking at that tonight and want to check it out further. I was considering a photo set or video of it. MarkDilley

The Mariott is maybe 15 minute walk (which may be cold and wet, but scenic, nice views from the bridge). There are other hotels around, on the east side, although I'm not sure they are closer. -- Caleb Phillips
How cheap are cabs if I was at one of the farther away hotels? --Simon Koldyk

There are a couple hotels north about a mile or so.

Finding good deals at JupiterHotel.com, should be about a mile south of the venue.
(I stayed there for another conf and it was not incredibly great; cold small hard beds - anselm)
