[PLUG] Re: [PLUG-ANNOUNCE] ANNOUNCEMENT: September PLUG Meeting

[Jeff Waddell]

I would like to attend this.  I'm in Seattle.  Any chance someone from here
is going that I could hitch a ride with?  I can provide some gas money.  If
it's more than ~60 for gas I suppose I should just take the train...
