Since your link gave me a blank page here is the direct link Hybridfest.

Yeah, I'm working on the blank page thing. Also, I'm not sure why/how it ended up in "Audio/Electronics" so I moved it to here.

The reason I made it an RSVP was so Eric Powers (ericbecky) could get a very real feel for how many people from PriusChat are interested in attending the fest. Until I get the RSVP system figured out, please just append to this thread if you intend on going.

I, for one, look forward to going back to Madison for a weekend of free love, rock-n-roll, and hybrid batteries. Of course, most people only saw the batteries.

wow, talk about planning ahead!

odds are good that i'll make a road trip out there this year... but i'll need some gentle reminders when the event gets closer - i'm sure those will happen anyways, though :-p

TheForce · 02-13-2007, 09:11 PM

So the RSVP still not working?

I'm thinking of going. I just have to work out the time/money things.

Looks like it will be about an 11hr drive 580 miles for me. I'll need 2 nights at the hotel. This will be one long trip.

Anyone else planning on going?

FireEngineer · 02-14-2007, 10:28 AM

Yep! Went last year, going again this year. Great time.

I hope to attend - but having knee surgery in May, so I'm not sure I'll be mobile enough. I hear you can't drive for up to 2 months afterwards, so that's cutting it too close, perhaps.

**efusco** · 03-04-2007, 04:41 PM

Just a little bump/reminder/unofficial RSVP.

I "think" I'm going to Hybridfest 2007 this year. I asked for time off work to go, may or may not bring the family and ditch them in Chicago on the way. But I hope to make it and barring any unforseen events should be there.

Anyway, if you're planning or thing you're going to go to Madison for Hybridfest gimme a "Heck Yea" just to get a little head count. Might be enough to convince some to go...this would be Squid's chance to punch someone, Gal's chance to hug someone, and a heck of a lot of fun to put some faces to screen names from across the nation!

TheForce · 03-04-2007, 04:57 PM

I'm going. My dad may also come. Going to need 4 days at the hotel. I want to be there for the MPG challenge.

I'll have to leave Thursday morning to get there that night. I plan on staying Sunday night and head out Monday. After hybridfest we are planning to go directly to Detroit for a corvair convention. I don't think the things will start until Wednesday so we will have to find some time killers in the area between the two places.

Cant register on hybridfest.com yet but plan on getting the reservations set first thing Monday.
