InDIYana 2014 Prelim Thread....

Re: InDIYana 2014 Prelim Thread....

90 to 30 for me. There are some stoplights but the speed limit is 55mph and 65mph in spots IIRC. Never had a problem making the trip in around 3 hours. I noticed there is some construction on 80/90 (according to Google) around Elkhart and it's definitely the longer route, but without stoplights.

BTW- the toll booths in Indiana just over the Illinois border (as of last year) all have gates. That means that if you do not have an I-Pass, you're gonna have to pay. In Illinois, as long as your license plate is registered (with I-Pass), you can fly thru a gateless ipass toll and your account will be billed automatically. The same DOES NOT apply in Indiana.

To the Chicagoland guys:

Do you take Hwy 30 across Indiana to get to Fort Wanye or is it better to stay on 80/90 and take 69 down? I don't mind the country roads as long as there aren't dozens of stop lights.

Thanks.

You could also get off at the Laporte exit and take 6 to 31 to 30. Avoid any construction and its only about 1-1/2 from there. I'm planning on leaving from my place around 6-7am. Don't forget the time difference!

Might as well start plugging the video stream channel - Provided we have decent internet connectivity at the hotel we'll be streaming the show on USTREAM - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/indiya...-wayne-indiana

Bookmark the channel and check in on the afternoon of May30 and the whole day of May31.

If I can remember, I will try to peek in occasionally from California. Thanks for your commitment, Bryan!

I will be bringing 4G hotspot functionality, so perhaps that might work better than the hotel wifi. We will have to investigate when there.

Who is your 4G provider? I have Sprint as well as Clear and they suck in Fort Wayne. Low signal for Sprint and NO SIGNAL for Clear. :(

Wolf, two friends from Cinci will be meeting me there, so I'm a +2 at this point.

I'll have T-Mobile if it works...

Re: InDIYana 2014 Prelim Thread....

Ill look into what songs will be played and if i need to bring any.

Yeah- I have not posted them. You'll have to wait and see.
As to what you get, you get 5 min of your own stuff.

This is very true! The first time I drove up your way I missed the toll once because I didn't know it was there. I'm used to how it is here.

Took me closer to 2 hrs to you, but it depends on how you drive.

Agreed-
I personally think 30 isn't a wrong way to go, and you aren't too far from the Hyatt when you get to the Fort.

Ditto on the time difference- I should likely post that info on the website.

Re: InDIYana 2014 Prelim Thread....

Looks like I'll be bringing one pair, unless someone has a request. (Nope- the 'Tudes are staying home.)
Trikes, Stances, Sophomores, even the Schwarz XL (which will be there for sale) are options.

Fenghuang are the theme entry...

As cjd, I'm on T-Mobile. Coverage looks good on their map, but we will see.

OK great....thanks and thanks cjd. What I usually do is set up the laptop in the conference room and do a speed test on the hotel WIFI. Every year it has been a different speed which is why I never guarantee a good video stream. Last year it turned out OK. In 2012 we had some problems. I'll know Friday afternoon what the dilly-o is. If I get a poor connection, perhaps we can tether one of your phones. I would appreciate it.

Does everyone leave saturday night or sunday morning? Just wondering if anything goes on after Saturdays event ends.
