Udhay urged me to post to this thread on Saturday evening, right after he called to take my reading on the matter, but I was feeling nice and disconnected from email, and I didn't have the will to trot over to a keyboard of any sort.
In the light of the emails thus far, it looks like this crowd might support a low effort location like Fireflies over BR hills. My two bits are that if I am in Bangalore for the weekend, I am coming there solely for this camp, so I don't care where we are headed - both locations sound nice to me. I think BR hills will be more fun for sure, but I am not very excited about adding a 7 hour commute on top of a flight from HYD to BLR.
