We are driving down leaving Vancouver on Wednesday, and whether we arrive on Wednesday or Thursday has yet to be determined. Who is actually planning to be at the house on Wednesday, anyway?

Meeple, Soppy, and VSM it looks like at this stage? Presumably Ashley/Andy too. I presume you were looking more to see if it would be inhibited on Wednesday, and the answer looks like yes.
<Eph> When Laggy was there to fuel my desire to open crates, my life was happy.  Now I'm stuck playing a shitty moba and playing Anime RPGs.

Meeple, myself, VSM, Niu and Jim+1  all scheduled to come in on Wednesday at various times. Niu and Jim much later than the rest.

House's address: 6506 Eureka Ave. El Cerrito, CA

Unless the house managed to move itself since 2010. Seems unlikely.

--

It's about a 10 minute/0.5mi walk from the BART station which is kind of awkward with luggage. Uber does serve the area so I do recommend y'all domestics set that up so you can get a car instead of schlepping with bags. I will not have a car during the day on Wednesday-Friday because Andrew needs it to get to work. I can rent one if I have to, though it's ~$120. I'll also not likely actually be there Thursday afternoon-ish because of an interview thing.

We'll make it work. Let me know what you guys need.

How usable is the kitchen?  Does the oven work, is there a microwave, utensils, pots and pans for cooking or boiling water, etc...?  Considering doing some cooking to cut down of food expenses.

Last time it was fully functioning and had at least rudimentary cooking tools.

I live a ~15-20 minute drive from the house, though, so if we need more I have a few things I can bring.

(I do not have a giant pot, Gate, if that was of interest to you...)

FINAL REMINDERS!

Y'all will be prepping for travel and whatnot, so here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Please bring $200 to pay for the house in digital (Paypal, Venmo), cash or check form. Those of you who pre-paid, I'll refund the difference when you get here.
  • If you need to call me, please use my Google Voice number: 510-730-2665. If you already have a 909 number from me, that's also valid.
  • I will not be able to pick anybody up from the airport! I have no car because Andrew will be working and needs it to get there. If the Travel topic directions via BART don't make sense, give me a call and I can help. But I cannot drive anyone.
  • The forecast is for low-to-mid 70s (~21C) and partly cloudy. The temperature is known to swing wildly (70* forecast, 50* one day, 90* the next) so make sure you're prepared for that. There's about a 60% chance the weather will be as advertised.
  • If you want to pack light, good news: there's a washer & dryer here.

I'll be at the house all day Wednesday so I can get y'all to the right place. Thursday arrivals will have to deal with someone else since I'll be in SF from ~10:30am to 5 or 6pm.

The address is 6506 Eureka Ave., El Cerrito, CA. There should be plenty of parking for the drivers.

I want to reiterate this:

NEITHER ASHLEY NOR I CAN ASSIST YOU IN GETTING TO THE HOUSE.

So you are saying that people should follow directions on this link herefor how to get to and from the airport in the section labelled How do I get to the house from the airport? And back again?

That would certainly be nice, because we can't drive anyone from the airport to the house.

Hey guys. Don't want to be a bother, but I recently lost both my legs in the Star Wars. Any way I can get a ride from the airport to the house?

Now bear with me. The lack of CGI will make it look like I still have legs. But I assure you, they are gone.

I'm just so tired of these Star Wars.
Rocky: you do know what an A-bomb is, right?
Bullwinkle: A-bomb is what some people call our show!
Rocky: I don't think that's very funny...
Bullwinkle: Neither do they, apparently!
