That's good news to me that it will be staying in LA. I did not hear about that! I took the Amtrack train from San Diego. $80 for round trip, business class. It was fun and relaxing. The train station is only about 2 miles away from Siggraph. The taxi cab ride last year was the scariest part of the trip. It would have taken me over 3 hours each way to drive, plus parking, so at first it sounds expensive, but I think it is right for me. Hope to see you there!
