Dear Topologists and Friends of Topology, It's time to begin organizing rides down to OU for the Redbud conference on the 3rd. Please e-mail me if you are planning to go. Let me know if you will be able to drive, and if so how many additional mathematicians you can fit in your car. There is funding available to cover mileage and also lodging if you would like to spend a night in Norman. (Note that spending Friday night would mean not having to leave Stillwater at 7am on Saturday. Also, by state regulations, you can only get a per diem to cover food if you spend the night.) Please also let me know if you want to do this, since this will affect who rides with whom. To get the conference rate, reservations must be made by the 29th, so this should be decided soon.

OK, so far we have three people who candfvq drive down on Friday (Sean, Trent and Bob), one car going down Saturday morning (Bus), plus Lizhi is willing to drive on Saturday morning if he needs to. Two people have requested rides on Saturday morning (Lizhi and Pengcheng) and one has requested a ride Friday night (me).
If you would like to be involved in the ride sharing and haven't responded yet, please let me know.
Also, if you're planning on staying in Norman Friday night, remember that the deadline for the conference rate at the hotel is Monday the 29th (tomorrow). Information can be found on the conference website: http://www.math.ou.edu/~forester/redbud2012/travel.html
