Airport Rides and Free Parking!

[Alatheia]

I'll be giving rides to and from the airport in hopes to make enough to pay to park my car downtown for the weekend.

The hotel shuttle is $18/person and a taxi is about $25-$30.

I'll be charging $10 plus $5 for each extra person (so one person = $10, two people = $15, three people = $20).

Also, I can do pit stops at grocery stores, liquor stores, or whatever else is needed.

I'd rather not charge but downtown parking is expensive! After I make enough to pay for the parking and the gas back and forth all the rides will be free :D

We can fit a few extra cars in the driveway comfortably, so anyone driving in that wants to save a bit on parking can park at the house and I'll drive you into the city and back out to get your car after PAX.

(( Sticky please :cool: ))

I call dibs, seeing as how you are my girlfriend. :p

[Rogue_hunter]

I will be taking you up on this offer this year, as last year I didn't find out about it until after I had arrived in Seattle and was already at the hotel.

You're silly

Not my fault you weren't paying attention :p
Scull posted about it a few days in advance for me :)

[Suave Peanut]

Sounds like a good deal! I'm in.

[Psykoboy2]

I'll be arriving Wednesday around 11:30pm...too late for a ride?

[Alatheia]

I'll be arriving Wednesday around 11:30pm...too late for a ride?

Not for you :cool: (11:30 isn't late at all, I'm usually up until 2am or so.)

[Psykoboy2]

Well pencil me in then.

[pronounconnoun]

Not that I want to spend a ton of cash, but you should probably take some extra cash for gas.

[skwish]

and for those of you who would like a guy who has 5 watches on his wrist drinking malt liqour from a paper bag asking you what time it is

the bus ride from the airport to downtown was only $1.50 and took about 25 mins

That's only if you manage to catch the express and if your flight lands at the right time to catch one of the buses, could be over an hour depending on arrival time :p

[Ghostbear]

I'll go ahead and claim one of those parking spots.

[Re3x]

damn this is just for pax? I am going to vegas on friday.

[Scull]

I will also claim a spot. It was great and conveinent last year, so I expect that it will be this year too.

[Alatheia]

Okay :)

Well, if you need airport rides in Seattle I can do days other than just for PAX :cool:

You forgot safe too ;)

[Jackel]

Hey Alatheia.

Sounds like we'll be getting the apartment, so we should be able to get that parking spot for ya.

[Sandman]

I'll be down for a ride; I get in 5:30pm Thursday.

[Goronmon]

My flight is currently scheduled to arrive at 3pm Thursday. Though considering that my return flight was already canceled and the schedule changed a lot last year, that might not be the case when PAX rolls around.

[Jackel]

I'll be down for a ride; I get in 5:30pm Thursday.

Heh. Isn't that the start time of Von's. I'm guessing (but she'll have to confirm) that she'll be at that.

[Alatheia]

Heh. Isn't that the start time of Von's. I'm guessing (but she'll have to confirm) that she'll be at that.

Maybe I like to be fashionably late? :p

[Jackel]

Maybe I like to be fashionably late? :p

I-5 @ 5:30 PM ? You'll be more than fashionably late my dear. You might just make last call :)

[pronounconnoun]

Also dinner at 2:30 PM and wake up calls at 3:00 AM. Wake up early though. We don't want to miss the Early Bird Special. :)

[MagGnome]

Wake up calls at 3am? WTF?

[Alatheia]

I-5 @ 5:30 PM ? You'll be more than fashionably late my dear. You might just make last call :)

Why would I be stupid enough to go anywhere near I-5 at that hour? I live here remember... 518 to 509, over the 1st Ave bridge, down 1st... we'd be at Von's no later that 6pm :p

Or could just take Pac Highway (99) all the way downtown.

[Bad Buddha]

Motorcycle parking is everywhere and cheap! ;)

[Alatheia]

You shush :p

The parking is more for Scull, GB, and anyone that drives up from Oregon anyway :p

(( Sticky please :cool: ))

I think I'll be arriving on a flight around noon with a friend on Thursday. This info will come in handy.

Also, you can give me Farcry 2 from Slippy then too. :D

Pffft, we'll see :p

[Suave Peanut]

Looks like I'll be arriving about 10:45p on Wednesday. Conveniently it looks like you have another fare not long after that!

Now I have to worry about where I'm going to stay, but I have 13 weeks to figure that out.

I could *possibly* give you a spot to sleep for an emergency situation on Wednesday evening if you need it.

Yeah, both of your roommates backed out on you. Sorry about that. :o

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind if worse comes to worst.

[Voodoo]

Hello! I'd definitely like to get a ride to/from the airport. Here is my flight schedule.

Arrive Wednesday, September 2, 2009 @ 11:40am on Alaska Airlines #9
Depart Wednesday, September 9, 2009 @ 1:30PM on Alaska Airlines #10

[TurboKinny]

I would love a parking spot, I'll PM you. And I'd be happy to help shuttle people after PAX on Sunday if needed (and even Monday if I stay that long!)

[rinichanraar]

I'll be down for a ride; I get in 5:30pm Thursday.

Ooh! Joey and I get in at 5:11 pm on Thursday! Maybe we should all share, if that's possible.

[Sandman]

Ooh! Joey and I get in at 5:11 pm on Thursday! Maybe we should all share, if that's possible.

Most likely since my flight arrival time is actually around that time as well.

[Alatheia]

Ooh! Joey and I get in at 5:11 pm on Thursday! Maybe we should all share, if that's possible.

Can fit three normal size people in the car along with myself, can squeeze in a fourth person if they're itty bitty. Trunk is HUGE so stuff will fit for sure.

Won't it just be three counting you though around 5pm Thursday though? We'll be good :)

[astranoir]

Alatheia, I PMed you about parking

[Psykoboy2]

Beth....hit me up on IM's when you get a chance.

[Voodoo]

Alatheia, is there availability for ride to/from with my flight schedule? I'm not sure if anybody else is arrive/departing when I am.

[rinichanraar]

Won't it just be three counting you though around 5pm Thursday though? We'll be good :)

As far as I know, yeah. You'll be getting my $6.66666666 for sure! ;)

[Alatheia]

Alatheia, is there availability for ride to/from with my flight schedule? I'm not sure if anybody else is arrive/departing when I am.

Of course there is! I have also offered my services to all of the Enforcers coming from out of the area. I am seriously about five minutes away from the airport it is no trouble for me to pick anyone up.

As far as I know, yeah. You'll be getting my $6.66666666 for sure! ;)

Heh, if the others getting in around the same time as you don't take my offer we can make fun of them then :cool:

[Sandman]

Heh, if the others getting in around the same time as you don't take my offer we can make fun of them then :cool:

I'll be on that ride.

[Alatheia]

I edited the OP, let me know if I missed anyone.

[Sandman]

I edited the OP, let me know if I missed anyone.

Should be able to combine the 5:11 and 5:30 rides...I was account for baggage claim time when I said 5:30....probably arrive at about the same time though.

[Rogue_hunter]

I'm not there, though, admittedly, I never posted in here specific times, just in other threads. TrackZero and I should be getting in roughly 30 minutes apart, I can only assume that it'd be easier to have us go together.

Wednesday ~10:40 am

[Voodoo]

I'm feeling a Wednesday hangout for us early arrivers.

[Sl1pstream]

I should be getting in on Wednesday, but I probably won't be anywhere near the hotels that night.

[Alatheia]

You'll be at my house that night :p

[Ghostbear]

I'll be coming in Wednesday at 7:23pm hook a brother up?

[Alatheia]

Of course I will :)

[Uno Ill Nino]

Is it still possible to get in on one of these rides? I'm flying in at 4:35PM on Thursday and I'm coming to PAX alone. I'd just like to get in on the ride because I think it'd be a great way to meet somebody from the crew here right away. If there's room, lemme know! Thanks! :)

You're on my list now :)

[Uno Ill Nino]

Nice! Let me know how we're going to get into contact whenever you get closer to having it all finalized. And thanks in advance!

How far is the Microsoft Campus from the Airport? I might have something going on there and may need a ride back from it around 4.

[Voodoo]

You too? Cool! Maybe we can hit up some beers at their new joint. I'll be going to Microsoft on the 8th.

[Alatheia]

How far is the Microsoft Campus from the Airport? I might have something going on there and may need a ride back from it around 4.

The main Microsoft Campus is in Redmond which is on the upper east side of the city. The airport is in Tukwila/SeaTac which is the south end of the city. Depending on traffic it is either a 30 minute drive or could be over an hour. With carpool and TomTom for back roads that I don't know too well on the east side could probably get from one to the other in under an hour during rush hour.

Which day would it be? I can put it on my sheet. :)

[AgtFox]

Do I smell some Halo 3: ODST playing? That's kind of what they did with Halo 3, although that I think was over 3 days.

It would be Thursday - which would be the day everyone is arriving so it might be difficult.

[Alatheia]

It wouldn't be that hard to go from downtown to Redmond and back between pickups of other people. My sheet is at home though so can't look and see what I have in the time frame.

Ok. Let me know. I'd gladly pay you for your services.

[Alatheia]

Ok. Let me know. I'd gladly pay you for your services.

Picking up an enforcer around 3:30, after I drop him off can head out to Redmond, get you and take you where you're going, then back to the airport for Uno Ill Nino. Should work fine :D

Am I the only one you'd be coming for now? I thought maybe I'd be teamed up with Rini and co. If its just for me, you don't need to make the extra trip. I'd feel guilty!

[Alatheia]

Yes, just you, but depending on how much stuff "Rini and co" are bringing all four of you people's crap might not fit in the trunk :p

[pronounconnoun]

Yes, just you, but depending on how much stuff "Rini and co" are bringing all four of you people's crap might not fit in the trunk :p

Rini and co will have one bag between them which can easily fit on co's lap.

[Sandman]

Rini and co will have one bag between them which can easily fit on co's lap.

I'm riding with you guys too I think. I'll have one backpack and one bag that'll go in the trunk.

[pronounconnoun]

My brother used to drive an Integra, I'm used to fitting into tight spaces.

[Alatheia]

I'm riding with you guys too I think. I'll have one backpack and one bag that'll go in the trunk.

Yes you are.

Rini and co will have one bag between them which can easily fit on co's lap.

Then it depends on how tall Uno Ill Nino is because there is so no leg room in the backseat. Joey's tall self will have to ride shotgun.

[Uno Ill Nino]

uh ohs. I'm 6'3 tall. I can manage though. I dunno. I'll have one messenger bag and a small suitcase. I mostly wanted the ride so I could make some immediate contacts because I'm traveling alone. Let me know what you think. If I can't fit, its no big deal. Might still be a good idea to take you up on a seperate ride offer though, so I can at least meet you and have 1 contact. :) I gotta meet me some COG people at this thing!

[Alatheia]

Well, I'm not sure what time I'll get back from Redmond for sure, shouldn't be too bad since we can go carpool and that usually isn't backed up during rush hour. It's *possible* to squeeze someone 6'3" in the backseat when they're the only one back there, have done that before, he had to sit sideways, lol. We could probably figure out how to stuff you all in there.

[pronounconnoun]

Okay. The only way to solve this. Fight to the death. Loser gets tied to the roof.

[Sandman]

Okay. The only way to solve this. Fight to the death. Loser gets tied to the roof.

With it being 3 on 1 I think Uno is going on the roof.

[Alatheia]

Nah, tallest rides shotgun and puts the seat as far forward as they can stand it, 2nd tallest sits behind them, Rini sits in the middle, and the shortest guy sits behind me. It'll work... I think.

[bapenguin]

Oh awesome. Greatly appreciated. I'll get you the details as soon as I know them.

Thanks!

[Rogue_hunter]

I'm still not seeing me or TrackZero on this list. I'm getting in at 10:15am on Wednesday, and Track is getting in at 11:38 am.

EDIT: Jackel should also be getting in around the same time I am according to the flights thread.

[Jackel]

He be right, I arrive something like 9:35 from the bus to the airport, so I can join in w/ the Rogue for a ride!

You two are added. Track isn't added, he has to let me know himself that he wants a ride :p

FOR RINI AND CO: One of my seat belts is defective, if it can't get fixed before you all get here Uno Ill Nino will not be allowed to wait at the airport to join your trip.

[Rogue_hunter]

Welp, right after I posted, I got a PM about a ride from my roommate. I don't need a ride anymore. Sorry

FOR RINI AND CO: One of my seat belts is defective, if it can't get fixed before you all get here Uno Ill Nino will not be allowed to wait at the airport to join your trip.

If it's a safety issue, I grew up with an '84 Monte Carlo (a.k.a. backseat seat belts of death) and a Dodge Ram (Seat belts, who needs seat belts?) so I'm fine to ride with my hand holding the belt in place. I'm sure you're a good driver and I wont die.

If this is a law related fear, then I wont make a fuss. :p

[TurboKinny]

since it looks like I won't be in until sometime Friday, I won't need to park at your house Thursday night :( (still will Fri-Sun, though, if that's cool)

Well, it's the middle belt in the back, so would be the littest person sitting there. I'm not so scared of me causing an accident and I've yet to actually be in one while I was driving.

The law though... since we're all over 18 it would be the passenger who got the ticket for not wearing a seat belt but no idea what would happen to me for having a defective seat belt...

since it looks like I won't be in until sometime Friday, I won't need to park at your house Thursday night :( (still will Fri-Sun, though, if that's cool)

As long as you park correctly you can still park at the house. It's a Friday before a holiday so mom might be home anytime between noon and 4 to give you a ride into the city OR the house is on a bus route if you're feeling adventurous, all you'd have to do is cross the street and go down the block a bit to get to a bus stop.

[Uno Ill Nino]

Well, if I have to get a cab then I have to get a cab. Not the end of the world. I'll be putting my contact info on the list that Ghostbear is putting together, so keep me in the loop.

You won't have to get a cab, worst case you only meet me first then get to meet everyone else half an hour to an hour later :p

[Uno Ill Nino]

Well, its looking like Rini and Co. will be leaving with you about the same time I am guessing I should be leaving, so we'll just see how it goes. I'm not as worried anymore because now there's the contact list, and Civil gave me his BS ticket, so I think I've infiltrated the group. :D If the ride still works out somehow, that's awesome, but if not, that's okay too. We'll just see what happens that day I guess.

You know you could make it easier on the groups of 3 and have us owe $21 or so. Instead of having it break down to 6.6666666666666666666666667 each it would be $7 each.

Heh, if you really want to but depending on the time I might not be home. Call me when you're north of Tacoma.
