I'll say it again--if you are that committed to getting there in some 
specific way, then you need to take some responsibility for figuring out 
how to do it.  Finding buses or walking routes isn't hard--even those of 
us who aren't going to use them can find them in a minute or so.  But 
you seem to think that not only should the convention be placed so that 
you can get there by your absolute first preference, but they are also 
responsible for holding your hand on how to do it.  (And never mind that 
it's still eight months away, and by then they may very well have 
instructions for how to skateboard there.)

Well, they're not responsible for that--you are.  And not by complaining 
here so that we end up doing all the work for you.
