Here are my Arrival options for 10/8:
11:03A, 12:31P, 1:08P, 1:24P, 2:08P, 5:07P, 6:19P, 9:22P, 8:48P, 10:56P
anyone arriving in Portland at those times? willing to toss in $ for a rental.. or I can get the rental etc..
What about hotel rooms? anyone care to split a room? go true Indie?

@Phil,
I can take the flight that would get me into Portland around 1:24P and meet up with you chaps, how much does the train ride cost? would be a hell of a lot cheaper then renting a car :)

My friend and I will be driving up from Sacramento early Thursday morning and leaving sometime Sunday afternoon/evening. I don't mind playing taxi for people if they need a lift from the airport or to the convention. Be warned though. I have a Mini Cooper and 4 people is the absolute max that thing can hold, and that's with basically no luggage!

I might need a ride from Portland to Eugene on Thursday (10/9). I will be arriving at 8:18 PM but I am willing to wait around for a while if needed. Anyone got room?

I won't be up there, but if you can't find anything, you can always try the train
Also, Pascal and Phil are giving a presentation at PAGDIG. You could try subscribing to the group mailing list and seeing if any of the Portland area crew is coming down and could possible give you a ride.

Updated info...called the airline again and got a much more informative person. I would be arriving at 10:30 PM instead of the 8:30 PM the guy before grunted out. So unless I crash in Portland for the night the train is out. I might be able to swing a car rental though if no one else will be in the area.

I'm driving down Saturday in a van from Seattle if anyone is interested in hitching a ride.

I'm driving in from Seattle too, on Friday afternoon. I'll be coming back up on Sunday night or Monday morning. I'll be taking my wife's car, as I am staying in Eugene at a friend's house which is somewhat far from the conference. If you or anyone else wants to carpool with me that would be great!
