How far is this airport from the venue? Around a half hour drive....of course, that's presuming traffic is actually MOVING...a crap shoot at best in SoCal.

You locals are so jaded and pessimistic about the traffic. It's not THAT bad. My biggest problem has always been taking the wrong freeway exit and getting lost... Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

That happens to us, too...especially when there's construction going on and you suddenly find your next 5 exits are suddenly closed!

Oh, it's very likely one will take a wrong exit. With me it's usually when I think that the exit for, say, I-5 is going to be on the right, but find out that instead it's on the left---too late to cross 6 lanes of heavy traffic to make it in time.  Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

Another thing I appreciate about this year's schedule: all the weapons have the Vet Team event the day after the Vet Individual competitions. The last two years, WE at least had the Vet Team event before the individual event -- while fun, this will be much better (and I believe will mean more teams fencing).
