[MakeLV] Charter bus to NYC Make Fair 2012

[David Smith]

I believe Ellis was talking about the admission to World Maker Faire.  I
have written to a friend at the NY Hall of Science (were the event occurs)
to see if we can get a discounted ticket price.  The bus is a separate and
additional cost and what we charge depends in part on how many people we
can recruit to ride, but I am guessing $30/person would be close.
