Week 1: DC, Wilmington, Albany, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto

Here's the itinerary for week 1, with approximate days/times and a partial itinerary of planned events. Post a comment if you want to do something at any of these locations or any obvious waypoints. Tuesday, May 3 Morning: micro-meetup at Caffe Amouri in Vienna (a DC suburb) at 11 AM with readers Benjamin Eason and Julio Rodriguez. Join in if you're around. Afternoon: drive to Baltimore to check out the Beehive Baltimore, a coworking spot I've always been meaning to check out. Julio will be riding along and I'll get to test my in-car iPhone based video interview rig. Fingers crossed. Evening: drop Julio off and drive on to Wilmingon, Delaware.  Why? Stay tuned.  Plan for the night is to couchsurf. Wednesday, May 4 Drive leisurely north to Albany, NY, stopping randomly along the way. Holler if you are along the obvious route. Will probably make a stop in New Jersey somewhere. Plan is to camp out at an old friend's home for the night. Thursday, May 5 and Friday, May 6 Drive to Montreal. Seb Paquet has kindly offered to host me for a couple of days and I'll also be meeting up with Daniel Lemire.  Trying to pull together a talk about the book for the group Seb runs, Technologies et savoirs. I thought it means "Technology is our Savior" but apparently it means "Technology and Knowledge." Good. I don't do Messianism well. Saturday, May 7 and Sunday May 8 Get myself to Ann Arbor, MI by Sunday night, weaving vaguely through Ottawa, the Lake Ontario shoreline and Toronto. Haven't made any concrete plans yet, so I am very open to ideas. I'll stop somewhere if I can find free/cheap  accommodations (hint, hint), otherwise it is a straight dash to Ann Arbor where I have accommodations.
