It's too bad this is on a Friday,  or I would be all about it. It's only a 6 hour drive from Odessa. :)

It's taken me 8 hours to drive from Dallas to Austin which is 130 miles less than the trip from Odessa, for what it's worth

Drive faster.  That's at worst a 4 hour drive.

It's not really a roadtrip for me, tbh.  Carrollton is like a 30 - 40 min drive from my house and is between me and the airport you'd probably fly into anyways.  I'd say price tickets, but first car payment due like 3 days before this, too.

I'm thinking of google hangouts/youtube livestreaming it. Probably not as exciting though. I'll update with pics at least.

themitch22 are you thinking of doing another one in December? If it's after the 15th I can make it up from Austin. I've heard so many rants about how amazing the Dallas Makerspace is and want to see it for myself some time.
