I would gladly meet up with other people who are planning on coming. I am already in Auburn Hills but would be willing to drive to meet other people and guide them into the area possibly.

Sounds like things are starting to come together. Is there going to be one hotel everyone is planning on staying at and a group meeting spot for everyone? I think it would making planning easier in there was one location everyone would meet at before going to the cruise. That is just my suggestion on trying to help plan this event.
