Re: Midwest Hybrid Fest 2006. Saturday July 22nd
OK Ericbecky; Wayne is in, so I am in! I believe I can recruit about 10 other Insights to show up, as well. I will leave Seattle 3 days prior, and attempt to get 92 mpg or so on the way to Madison. It will be a pleasure to meet you, and many other nice people also. Billy......

Re: Midwest Hybrid Fest 2006. Saturday July 22nd
Now that's the kind of enthusiam we are looking for!
Around here, 10 Insights would be a record number of Insights in one place.
Besides Wayne, we have some other great speakers who have accepted our invitation to be at the event. I wish I could tell you, but we have decided to wait until January to release the rest of the details. Man, it is hard to keep from spilling the beans!
The planning committee is busy hammering out the details regarding a registration fee, lunch and dinner menus, hotel rooms, sponsors and more. It's going to be a great event!
I look forward to seeing you, and the other nine Insights, there.

I will be in Chi-town that weekend for a fish show. Will see if I can day trip up there for a meet and greet in my gas guzzler EX. Things are still up in the air. It is on the calander.

Re: Midwest Hybrid Fest 2006. Saturday July 22nd
I'll see if I can come. I don't know if I want to drive the whole way. It's somewhere between 8-10 hours for me. I'll wait until I get pricing and schedule information for the Lake Michigan car ferries.
