Already planning on that, Meeple! No worries from me!

Although, I hear gas is much less expensive in the States now, especially compared to when I left last year (~$4/gal?).

It's...about $2.50-$2.80 or so now.

Anyway, Shale, Super, Myself...do we have another taker?  Gate?

Nah, I'll wait for a different room. I remember how bad Super snores...

(That and me and Tai intend to be in the same room, and there's only one spot left in yours.)

Right now, Gas Prices are about $2.35~ , though i suspect this to go up by the time of the Con.

Obviously this means you should buy and horde some now to avoid paying more then!

I was shocked to see Southwest does not fly to New Jersey..... so there goes my discounts.
So anyone knows any airline that has some cheap rates?

Alright, I think with like 5 weeks left to the con its time people start doing this...

GET YOUR ROOMS SET UP.  Talk to random people, decide whose sleeping wtih who, etc.  If you're staying at my house, or with Soppy, you can ignore this post.  From what I understand, at this moment, OK's room has 3 people including himself, and he needs one more before he gets that room set up.  If you are't put in a room or a house yet, SPEAK UP AND DISCUSS IT AND SUCH.  We're kind of running out of time here.

Niu: That was an annoying thing I noticed as well! Flights from Cali to NJ suck, but Continental and United and AA have had the cheapest flights I've seen.

Need to wait until Monday to actually purchase the tickets, but Andrew and I are 99.5% confirmed. Our likely flight:

Continental

Arrive from SFO, Flight CO1829:
6:27 a.m.
Fri., Jul. 31, 2009
New York/Newark, NJ (EWR - Liberty)

Depart to SFO, Flight CO648:
7:25 p.m.
Mon., Aug. 3, 2009
New York/Newark, NJ (EWR - Liberty)


I believe we've got the rooming thing all set up. Someone talk to me about the potential for rides. I KNOW the times are awkward -- unfortunately, this is what Andrew and I have got to do. If it's necessary, we can rent a car, but we'd really, really rather not do that.

Indeed, at least Continental is pretty fair

4 people in room.  3 more needed.  I have a AAA card, so yay discount.  I'll let you know price once confirmed.

Waiiit.
Triple A card give discounts? I have one too, but how does that give you discount?

Some businesses, including a few hotel chains, give AAA members discounts.

I can do that.  That ok with you Meeple?  I'm used to being up early like that.

So I still need to work out hotel arrangements.  Can everyone who still has space in a room/still needs to work something out make yourself known so we can figure this out?

Hmmm. Well, I was thinking that I would like to stay with you guys and I was going to ask MC about it as well. I'm trying to decide now if I want to get six nights in the hotel (three for con, three post-con) or just do three nights and stay with Meeple for the other three.

I should probably room with heavy sleepers, because I never know when my fluctuating insomnia is going to be horrid and lots of people with that could be a compounding problem.

I'd be willing to room in either of those rooms if you still need someone to fill the space.  As I said, I don't really care where I sleep.

Tentatively speaking, our room's now maxed. Unsure on this, but.

Assuming my card can get the discount... but I doubt many people would want to sleep in the same room with me.

You bunked with people at DLC2/3. Shouldn't be a problem here.

Well, at DLC2, Niu bunked with me, Sage, and Yakko; the biggest fears in that room were NOT Niu, but rather, a war being started up between Me and Sage <.<
