[edit] Welcome dudes/dudettes :)

This is a stub (for now :P )

This is meant to organize plans for Out-of-towners.

Everything between ⟨ ⟩ is pending Dima's approval.

[edit] Welcome Plan

• Drive to the frat⟨, with supplies for tomorrow,⟩ then Green or Red trains to Blue to O'Hare
• Welcoming Committee to arrive at O'Hare early enough Friday night to catch the first person coming in, hang out till the last person
  • We got ways of being distinguishable. Doubly distinguishable if TSA has a problem with it. Don't be public with our ways till the night of.
• Blue Line Train to Clark/Lake, transferring to elevated Green Line
  • This depends on how late the planes come in and how late the Green Line runs, else we got Red Line to Jackson, then transfer over pedway to Red Line
  • Why this default instead of transferring to Red Line-Jackson? The transfer at Clark/Lake through the Thompson Center looks slicker, and we should try to get to the very last train car to give them a good look of downtown Chicago as we leave it
• Out of Towners and Dima will stay at Frat house
• Rest of Welcoming Committee will ⟨drive home, and meet up again at NeoCon08 | spend the night⟩

[edit] Things to make sure is in informational flyer

(which we are generating in LaTeX and making sure it meets NSA's definition of ammunition (and says so, in case TSA cares)).

[edit] Things to make sure they know

• Delta Tau Delta Frat house, address and number
• DimaV and Sargas's number

[edit] Things to make sure they bring with

• Standard things (clothes, toothbrush, laptop)
• Standard Neocon things if they can (grills, cooking skillz, etc)

[edit] Illinois/Chicago things to keep in mind

• Joel can't legally drink
• Yousa all above the age of consent
• Smoking is illegal most places in doors, including bars. For more information visit http://cityofchicago.org/. I'd link directly to "Chicago Clean Indoor Air Ordinance" and "Smoke Free Illinois Act" but the website uses unfriendly links.
• Jaywalking is a part of life
• Time is a unit of distance
  • always use prime numbers (e.g. "i'm seven minutes away from where you are") for purposes of hilarity and evasion.

[edit] Places to go if time permits
