    Just called Raddison Hotel Richardson – 3rd on the list – and they will have a shuttle from their hotel to the event on Saturday and Sunday. In addition they are right across the street from the AMF Bowling Center event on Friday night.

    Free of charge to hotel guests.

    Blessings,
    Wendy

    We live in the area and have stayed at the Radisson before and we were treated very well and it is a nice hotel with pretty good rates. There are lots of restaurants in the area!

    Josie and I have eaten at Cafe Brazil (http://www.cafebrazil.com) on Coit, a little less than 10 minutes away (http://is.gd/17P67). Good eats at a reasonable price.

    We look forward to seeing everyone next week!

    I’m really excited about attending WordCamp Dallas! My main strength is writing, but I do (hack) designing with WordPress and MODx. Anyway, I’m REALLY HOPING to hook up with some real XHTML/CSS coders, graphics designers, SEMers, and video experts who are interested in hooking up with a real writer (ME). Please visit my website, http://PageBench.com. I’ve got over 20 years experience in technical writing and copy writing, with clients that include IBM, Halliburton, Hamilton Sunstrand, Textron, and many others. I earned a BA in English a lifetime ago, and I speak Spanish and Portuguese too.

    I’ll be wearing a Florida Marlins jersey!
