And if you're looking at cabbing it, it's probably $25 each way to and from downtown and/or the airport. If you're already going to be downtown, I can get $41 for a compact car from an off-airport location for the day of 6/8), and if you want to rent at the airport, it's a little over $50--both competitive with the cost of cabs.
Also, as a non-car-owner who always has to add SLI coverage to the rental, the math is less favorable for me. Still appreciate the suggestion, though. ^I'm sure any or all of us flying out can share a cab back to ANC if needed.
On it! I'll bring beer and something sweet.

ParanoiaTX and I will have a car and can give rides. We're staying at the Sheraton and plan on going to see some stuff during the day, though.

Looks like I should be able to make it after all, though I have a red eye to SFO that night for a conference, so I won't be able to stay too late.
And I'd be happy to bring beer from my kegorator if desired, currently have the excellent Alaskan Summer Ale on tap

Glad you can make it. Some kind of snack for after dinner fire pit relaxation would be good.

Wiki edited....................
I'm thinkin' some grilled veggies like asparagus might be a good addition (will secure myself unless someone objects). Just don't want to have too much on the fire (but need to get into training for the ADQ DO) :-:
