i went to a camp like that about 2 years ago, it was a computer camep, called ACE computercamp (www.computercamp.com)when i was there i learnt coding, it was simple coding for making text games, but coding
it was about £350 for a week, they rented out a suite in a college and setup there own LAN of about 30-40 computers, we wer set tasks and stuff to do, and we had a handy coding tutorial on the computers.
but it wasnt all coding, like for every 2 hours there, we uld spend a while playing LAN games, like C&Ctiberian sum, Half life, Quake 3 ect ect which was a laff. jus fort id comment cos the camp sounded like the one i went to
Whoa! Have you heard of run-on sentences? It's scary that a person who forms sentences this poorly went to a computer programming camp.
Actually I think (for the purpose of convinence) Dan should take the east coast of America and Tom the west, and since I live only about 2 hours from Dan, i'd probably be able to go :). And it would be a whole lot more convinent rather then basing a central location.
Tell 'em to go with you! Make it a vacation... come on! be creative! I was able to tavel from Georgia to Toronto on the pretense that I was visiting a cousin; actually I went to see RUSH live in a private club in the 80's... great bootleg-tape until I lost it...

While I would prefer to meet the 'creators' together at the same time, splitting them up between the coasts is not a bad idea. It gives more accessibility.
We could do a 'net video phone to connect the two BYONDfests together...
Hey, this was your idea - don*t back out of it now...
So how do you go to 'camp'? We could set up a 'parental packet' with all the info needed to allow your parents to know exactly where you would be, and who to contact in cases of emergency - something we would provide on a website anyway as a part of the BYONDfest details...
i personally agree with just the weekend cook out.... :P it would cost less...more peeps would probably come as well.....( prob the best option..if this were to go down...)

Well, maybe I can setup a webcam server for those who can't attend personally, but could be there for 'virtual' conferences during talks or classes...
I work at a university in the Distance Learning department. Perhaps we could arrange some Interactive TV conferences. Several computers with T1 internet access in the room and nice cooshie chairs for everyone. ;) (Fancier ITV rooms at other universities have a computer at each seat, but I'm limited to only 4 comuters in the local ITV room. :( )
Only a few hours (ok maybe 10-12 or so) by bus or train... and you may find others who could pick you up on the way...
