Totally your call; it’s sitting in its box in my sun room (but not directly in the sun), which sees limited use until at least April, so it’s fine there for now. But if you want to meet up to get it back, just say when.
Haven’t looked at hotels; thinking about mooching sleepspace/showers at one of several friends’ places who live out that way. But haven’t pursued that yet. I know when the PennLUG guys came to KidsFest, they got a few rooms and piled in for quadruple (or more?) occupancy to save money… not sure if we’re all that good of friends, but it’s an option…
