Awesome! I just booked flight RDU → CVG for Tuesday, March 28, arriving at 7:20pm.
Flea, thank you! I would be very honored to stay with your family.
I haven't finalized exactly when I'm leaving yet, but from what I can see, it is hella expensive to fly out of CVG on a weekend, so it looks like I'll be leaving some time on Thursday, 3/30.
NCistas: I just sent an email about the NC portion of Scolapalooza. YAY!!!

I can totally get you from the airport. Have you been here before? I ask because there really is a fantastic view of the city as you come down I-75 from the airport. It's a dramatic reveal as you come around a curve in the highway, too. I feel like it's the city's way of making up for the fact that you actually fly into an airport that's way the hell down in Kentucky. (For all values of "way the hell down" that equal "actually just 20 minutes by car, but still").

You could drop "on a weekend" off that sentence and still be correct. Grumble.

I can also take you to the airport. The view is, however, less exciting going *to* the airport.
The last two times we've flown anywhere, we've driven to Indianapolis and Columbus, respectively, because it's worth it.
Dayton can be a good choice, too. Plus -- though this may have changed since the last time I flew out of Dayton -- long-term parking was the lot right next to the terminal. I parked my car and walked to the terminal in under 5 minutes.
DC/Bmore & environs, Scolapalooza celebrated here Friday March 24th! Will send email soon.
Tom, I forgot to ask if you're allergic to cats?
Tom, I've got a work deadline of March 31 and I may be going on a quick trip to Hawaii after it to reset myself. That's why I haven't spoken up on getting together for your SF portion. I just wanted to explain in case you thought I was ignoring you. I hope it works out to see you since I missed you the last time!
I'm looking forward to seeing you on the NC leg of your tour, Tom.
