[MakeLV] World Maker Faire NYC 2013 - Bus Rental

[whatever]

not a bad idea but this probably greatly increases our costs... if we do 
4 to a room the hotel shouldn't be too much more though.  is there 
anything else going on that weekend in NY? thinking either filling empty 
seats with people who have no intention of going to makerfaire or what 
else we'd do on in NY
