Hey. The Schedule looks aswome!
I have one sugested change.
I think the it would make more sence to have the car pool leave on Wednesday leave from Conspire.
Three reasons.
The Day ends there, so people will be able to return to a farmilar place that thay already know the the location of at the end of the crazyness of the day.
If car pools end up being stagared or late its a place that people can comfortably hang out and wait.
The area of the gas station dosen’t look to me to have any comfortable public space chill out and get your bearings before heading up to scotsdale.

hey,
thanks for the suggestion!
