Instructions for traveling from DIA
to IBM Boulder
http://w3.boulder.ibm.com/boulderwebw3.nsf/lkpIBMpages/map.html
Here are the logistics for the WSDM
F2F all day Jan 19 and 20th in Boulder CO at IBM.
Please try to arrange your flights to
be there all day both days if at all possible.

Meeting will be in Bldg 002. Visitor
parking is very limited. Guests should park in lot D or B and walk to main
entrance bldg 001 to enter... then walk (inside) to 002/B10-1
(first day Harry Lewis will escort if
he's here or he will try and provide one if he's not).
1. Boulderado. Historic in nature and
located 1 block off the "Pearl Street Mall" ... an outdoor "mall"
(street with no cars)... a key Boulder city attraction with shops, restaurants
etc. Sort of "old west" flare... some rooms with antique furniture...
not necessarily the most luxurious rooms in all cases, however.

2. Marriott Boulder on Canyon Dr. Many
people stay at Marriotts due to points etc. Located in an interesting plaza
with a few restaurants, coffee shop and a famous Boulder hardware store
that "has everything" (sounds boring but actually interesting
to kill some time in).
I found this link http://www.boulder.co.usa.freehotelguide.com/Marriott-Boulder.html
3. Homewood Suites
You typical suites hotel. A bit removed
from any action but the amenity of a suite.

People can, of course, find other hotels
using their own search capabilities. For most wanting to experience Boulder
(and not caring about points loyalty) I'd recommend Boulderado.
People can also search in the towns
of Niwot and/or Longmont but they will be removed from Boulder proper which
is usually considered the larger attraction.
There is actually a fairly new, cool
little place called the Niwot Inn http://www.niwotinn.com/home_set.htm
(Niwot named after Chief Niwot.. means "Left Hand"). Niwot is
the closest town (5 min) to IBM. It is very quaint but has some of the
best eateries (although limited in number) and a short block of antique
shops.
People will need a car or taxi to get
from any of these places to IBM. There is probably bus service from Boulder
and Longmont... I can look into that if needed.
