Help?

So, first off, I would like to run GM Space at RPI's weekend of minigames. I have 6 signups, out of 15. This does not work. Also, the game is going to rest for awhile after, as 73 people have played, and this will bring it to 88. So, please, I need signups!

(Also, do you knowhow horrible it feels when people keep telling you you must bring your game to RPI, and then all sign up for the other game in the slot, so that it even has a waitlist of 3 while your game needs 7 to make its minimum?)

Secondly, On April 1st, I plan to go to the Fools Ball which a friend is DJing at.

Considering the fact that It's 4 hours away from where I am, and about an hour from the Brandeis area, I'd really like to come by Thursday afternoon, hang a bit, hopefully find someone to drive with, and then have a place to crash that night.
If I don't have these, going is probably not an option, as I really can't drive 4 hours after a night of clubbing. So, help?

Another q

Anyone who's dealt with taxes as a grad student with an assistantship? Know if there's anything special or different to do? (I keep getting inklings that there are, but I really have no clue)
