    Anybody going? Want to meet up at some point? I'll be there if anyone wants to meet up. Also anyone know where to park, I have no idea where I am going in Minneapolis so if anyone familiar with the area wants to give me some directions I'd greatly appreciate it.

      When is it? I'd be interested in going. (I'm 5 or 6 hours west of there.) Where in the Cities is it and where are you coming from?

        Its Feb 1st, but I think its booked up already (so if you aren't already registered you probably won't get it). Its in the Minneapolis Convention center. I'm coming from Mankato so I'll be coming in on 169.

          Ah. Here's a link about parking/directions http://www.mplsconvctr.org/pages/visitorinfo/maps_parking.asp[^] If I were you I'd take 94 east (from 169). Here are the rest of the directions: Take the 11th Street exit: follow 11th Street South until you reach 2nd Avenue South, turn left onto 2nd Avenue South and cross 12th Street South. The Convention Center is on your left. The Underground Plaza Parking Ramp is on your right.

              I'm an idiot. I see the launch is Thursday. Today is Monday. Anyway, if anyone in the metro is excited about Vista-- and in town Monday -- and willing to be on TV (I have a lot of "and"s)... e-mail me at WCCO-TV. Jrderusha@wcco.com Thanks! Jason DeRusha Reporter, WCCO-Tv

                    Looks like Leckey has gotten yea directions. If you email me I can give you my cell phone number and help with directions should you get lost (not that it's hard to get lost in downtown mpls).


                    I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

                      Check with Google maps, going all the way up to 94 then back down to downtown Minneapolis is going to take you on a tour of the cities. Google Map[^] FYI, there is an open parking lot / garage on the east side (off S 3rd Ave) of the convention center that typically charges $5 bucks a day for parking. -- modified at 0:51 Tuesday 30th January, 2007

                          Not only am I not going, I have only 5% interest in wanting to see the operating system.
