Hey Olivia; First off, it doesn't make sense to drive up from LA. The cost of gas is insane. I was considering driving up to SF for WWDC last month but the plane ticket (with virgin america) ended up being cheaper. You might want to look into one of those bargain buses if neither is an option, I remember a new bus service going from LA to SF for as little as $5 if you purchase fast enough: http://www.cashuttlebus.com/
Secondly, I don't know. If you're in LA (me too), there have already been a few BarCamps and other events in general, and there's also a cocoaheads here. I don't think Apple has any offices here, but there are the Apple Stores, and there's also the possibility of finding sponsors and renting out a venue, or if someone here works at an office, to see if it's possible to borrow a few offices for a weekend - it's been done at the likes of AOL and Mahalo, but since this is about accessibility and not tech in general I'm not sure how that would fly with them. Maybe Yahoo, if someone knows some contacts..maybe google..I'm honestly not sure. It's been a while since I've been at an Apple Store, but the one at the grove has a pretty big theatre with chairs... Those are just a few of my ideas. cheers, jane On Sat, Jul 26, 2008 at 12:15 AM, UCLA Bruins Fan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Thanks, Jane. > I will keep in mind what you said about the appple campus; you are probably > correct there. > I'm curious, where would you suggest hoasting some kind of camp? > I'm sure that there are plenty of people like myself who aren't active in > NFB or ACB, and, who, therefore, don't go to their conventions.
