Anyone from the Rust Belt considering going to Hoop Convergence in May? I live in Pittsburgh and am *considering* it right now... but would love a buddy... especially if a whole group is interested, maybe we could all drive down and go splits-ville on costs? If not, I'd have to fly... which is possible I guess. Ideally, I'd like to sprout wings, but I am gonna have to work on that or start taking vitamins or something. One thing is for sure: my car wouldn't survive the journey...

Also, who has been before? I never have, but have been wanting to go for so long... I am thinking that this year may be the year. I would love to hear from the experience of those who have been!!!
