Oh NYC.
I know a handful of people discussed going. Here’s some info for you. Makers have a traveler program where you exchange volunteering for a ticket. This is worth something like $40ish bucks - but the real treat is it would also offer an opportunity to see how the large party is organized and run.

I haven’t started watching airfare but dfw to nyc is very reasonable. If I see a deal I’ll post it here.
