  I can chip in too.

  I live at the corner of Maple and Michigan (one block east of Vine street).
  Any chance of reaching any of the other folks?  If so I have a cable modem
  that we can use for additional bandwidth to the Internet.  

  I'd love to have a node on premises to play with -- I think I have enough
  hardware to piece one together.
