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.

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⟩

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)).

Things to make sure they know

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

Things to make sure they bring with

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

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.
