| − | Since I'm not having much luck convincing Austinites that picking people up at the airport is great fun with many benefits, it
| |
| − | looks likely that you all should use the Super Shuttle (www.supershuttle.com) or Capital Metro's airport routes (www.capmetro.org/riding/airport.asp) rather than get picked up. Taking or sharing a cab is also an option.

| |

| |
| − | version: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pjAQh2AGJq8cooRMaUwKlWg.
| |
| − | I can add everyone as collaborators next week once we get all the data
| |
| − | filled in, so when updates are done to a machine, the writer can just
| |
| − | update the spreadsheet.
