Awesomeness! I encourage everyone to jump on the bandwagon that Mike has started-up.
Council of Five Nations 34 is October 7-9, 2011.
Historically, only Star Fleet Battles and a handful of other events start around 10am on Friday. A bunch start at 2pm, and we have a pretty-full schedule (many of the gaming tables allocated) on Friday night at 7pm. Saturday, of course, is the busiest day. The last formal event slot is 3-7pm on Sunday. We usually kick the hardcore stragglers out around 9pm.
Travelers will fly into Albany International Airport (ALB). This is about 20-30 minutes by car to the convention facility.
Travelers might also take Amtrak or Greyhound bus to Schenectady, NY. The train station is literally within walking distance of the convention facility. The bus station is a longer walk, or a very quick car ride.
I would write more, but Bohan/Zelc just arrived a few minutes ago. He's here for an all-day Battleground lovefest at the SWA April Game-a-thon.
I was thinking that we should nail down the Battleground schedule for Council soon, to get maximum marketing potential. Let me work on that.
Bohan, as a condition of his staying with me this weekend, has signed a blood pledge to attend Council this October, so that's at least two out-of-towners committed.
Who else?
Watch this space for more updates soon,

EDIT: Mike "Gull2112" originally started this thread. He asked about the schedule of BFW events, and good travel options. I later asked him to go back and edit the title to include the date of the convention, for marketing purposes. It looks like something happened and his original post is now gone. Oops. Anyway, now that my second post has been promoted to first post, I've edited the title. Sorry about that.
