TempleCon (Warwick, RI on Feb 5-7)
I am planning on heading to TempleCon for the first time, and I'd love to arrange a ride share and/or hotel share.
My plan would be to ride/drive from New Haven on Friday and be there for the entire convention. I have no firm hotel plans yet but I would share with any non-smoker and non-snorer. I'm a morning person and do not stay up late or make much noise.
Anyone else heading that direction?
