Amtrack from San Diego... that does sound relaxing. Don't quote me on the staying in LA. That was the word 2 years ago. I hope it's still true. :) Actually, I like going to San Diego for Siggraph. The area around their convention center is MUCH more interesting than in LA. If you don't like cabs, you can do like me and hop the redline subway from Union Station to 7th st. From there, either take the Dash A bus the other 7 blocks (every 5 minutes, 25 cents) or just walk. The bus is better. Yeah, maybe we can all pick a day and time to meet at the e-on booth for howdies.
