who's excited, who's attending, and importantly does anyone in the area have a couch, floor, or backseat for two baristas from cleveland?

Alex, I was hoping to find somewhere extremely cheap to stay, but, haven't looked yet. Have you booked a room?

Any couches for coffee crashing in Easton, or, temporary hostels for hordes of hungry baristas?
