For all you folks coming in on Wednesday, there will not be overly much room in the house that day. People will be sleeping on floor space in the spare room, and the living room. Since Tai will be here as well, at that point.

As Gate, Cmdr.K, and Capt. K know well enough, I'm a big fan of the floor.  A blanket and a pillow is all I need (or an inflatable mattress in place of the blanket). 

By the way, since I am guaranteed coming barring the wrath of the almighty Tria, any assistance with cooking or anything else of the sort, I would be glad to help with.  The bastard Italian chef in me can't miss a good chance at cooking for a group <_<

I'm also good with the floor. I've also been known to sleep on the odd windowsill if it's wide enough.

Alrighty, trying to get the logistics of chauffeuring down as we go along.  I am going to keep this post updated as people put in their itineraries.  Unless Laggy or someone else specifically says ‘Hey, I’m picking up or dropping off so-and-so at the airport so don’t worry about it’, I plan on doing that.  The slots are just left blank in case someone else is specifically doing it.  If you see something off or have an itinerary to add, please post it and I’ll update.

Yeah, I/Excal/Grefter/MC should all be coming by the same car.

Oh, just to have it said;

Probably not going to make it, finances this year have been substantially worse than I expected, etc. Sucks, but not much I can do. Sigh.

A big part of the problem is the distance, admitably. If I was more willing to be in a bus for two and a half days...each way...but I'm really not. (Maybe if it had been the first time and I didn't know what I was getting into/was meeting everyone for the first time and all, but...)

Parents will buy the tickets after we move out to Arizona, so I'll be able to say what my flight times are sometime in June.

I just noticed everyone wants to cook. Is this out of helpfulness or a secret desire to show off mad cooking skills? Do I smell a DL Iron Chef Challenge?

Not in my kitchen. It's barely big enough for me, no way will it hold an Iron Chef cookoff.

The beach house's kitchen might be big enough.  They don't have a picture of it on the website though...

Andrew's never going to remember to post this in time, so I'll do it for him:

Living over in East Bay and car-less, BART is the transportation method of choice (unless we rent a car). He's gonna need a ride between there and the ultimate destination, so it looks like he just needs to figure out when the most convenient time for that would be.

We're putting everything down ahead of time, you guys just hand me money when you get here. Easier that way, then waiting on checks to arrive to pay for the house.

As for the amount we'll need from everyone...I'll poke Jenna about that because I forgot.

The rental is going to come down to $500 a night for you guys.  How that gets divvied up depends on how many of you are staying at the house and how many of you that aren't staying there but want to help contribute can chop off that amount.  If 10 are staying there, then it'll be $50 a night.

Gate and I are covering the extra $100 a night.

Huh, 14 of us?  Sounds cramped, but easier on the wallet.  And really, being forced into close quarters with random people you half know is part of the charm of these things anyways.

Xer's staying with family, NEB has stated a preference to find a hotel, Tai may or may not be staying at Gate's instead to save on costs due to being international, Alex's staying with Hal and myself at another hotel. Dunno if anything else is different offhand but yeah.

Also, QR, on the second page of this thread I listed some arrival and departure times I posted earlier. Some may be out of date but some are missing from your list, too, IIRC.

Just to be sure, can we have everyone who plans to stay for the house (and thus help pay for the rent) post to confirm as such so we have an idea of a head count/how much it'll be per person? I don't want to make any assumptions. Thanks!
