Who knows, maybe with all that sexual tension in the air more than your average number of passengers will join the mile high club.

It has been brought to my attention that I am listed for the house?

I really shouldn't be counted there. I live fairly locally, so I don't think I'll be staying at the house.

VySaika · « **Reply #79 on:** March 16, 2008, 11:54:39 PM »

Alright. we got to see the inside of the house today, so here's the important stuff.

Space: There is LOTS of it. No, really. More then you're imagining, I promise. A conservative estimate of sleeping space says that we can have ~16 people sleeping in there without any space issues. Yeah.

Speaking of sleeping space, it breaks down like this(keep in mind that my Floor Space estimates are conservative here, there is more then I'm telling you.):

Quote

Bedroom 1: Bed, Sofa, 1 person worth of Floor Space.

Bedroom 2: 3 Beds, 1 person worth of Floor Space.

Bedroom 3: Bed

Bedroom 4: 2 Beds

Master Bedroom: Bed, 2 people worth of Floor Space

Non-Bedroom Spaces: 2 Sofas, Loveseat

Now without counting floor space, that's room for 12 people to sleep. Pleeeenty of space.

Oh yeah, and there's also 2 bathrooms and the Master Bathroom. All full baths(toilet, sink, shower, you all know the drill).

----

Now as for the important stuff, gaming space:

Quote

Bedroom 1: Good sized TV, Desk for board games and such.

Master Bedroom: Good sized TV, computer desk.

Downstairs: Decent sized table for board games and such.

Upstairs: Air hockey table.

3rd Floor Diningroom area: Rather Large TV, frikkin' huge table for board games and such.

So yeah, plenty of entertainment space going on as well. There should be no issues about not having room to break out any game we want to break out.

Now that we've finally gotten a looksee at the inside of this place, we're going to be sending off the deposit for it tomorrow. We've got that covered, so no worries. However, those of you planning to stay in the house, please send me a PM saying so so I can get a good list of how many ways we're splitting this $500 a night bill. 12+ people would be ideal, of course. If we can't get at least 10 people staying in the house, I'll need to ask people with thier own housings to chip in bits for this anyway(we all are going to be using it afterall.)

VySaika · « **Reply #80 on:** March 16, 2008, 11:56:13 PM »

Oh yeah, and Jenna took cellphone powered videos of the inside. She'll post those later.

I claim the air hockey table for sleeping.

Alrighty. Pics are up! Please note they were taken with a not-so-hot cell phone so the quality could be better. The files are .avi. If you can't see them, let me know because I can convert them to other formats if you'rer really that hot to see them. Takes no time, really.

I will do the house if there is that much space. We can try and sort something out for payment.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #84 on:** March 20, 2008, 06:05:26 PM »

Okay. After mulling this over for a while, I decided I'm not going anymore. While fetching the money is still plausible in spite of the setbacks I've been having since the beginning of the year, the mental masturbation on whether I'll be able to or not is just wrecking me open, to the point my typical mental instability is beginning to take over. I'd just rather decide against going and save me the unnecessary grief than worrying whether I'll be able to or not. There's always next year, I guess.

Grefter · « **Reply #85 on:** March 21, 2008, 03:01:04 AM »

Goddammit now I will have to travel further to hit you with a pipe.

Taishyr · « **Reply #86 on:** March 24, 2008, 06:39:46 AM »

In follow up to Snow's response, though for unrelated reasons, I'm now suddenly doubting my ability to come. Would like to talk to Gate/Jenna at some point, but... yeah. The primary problem is that I need to be out of China by the 13th of July.

This begins the 24th.

I'm not spending money to go home, fly out, and come back. I can't handle that right now - once I'm home I plan on being -home-. So... I need to seriously consider dropping this, myself. Irritable, that, but it may be saner.

QuietRain · « **Reply #87 on:** March 27, 2008, 11:01:15 PM »

Alrighty then. Due to realtor idiocy, I was informed on Monday that the house we were going to rent had been rented to someone else. SO, I found a replacement one. It's comparably priced and still in Pacifica. Below is the link to the house's website.

http://www.vacationrentals.com/vacation-rentals/998.html

Now, for pricing, we're still going to be asking for $500 a night as the old one was priced. This one is actually 6 a night, but Gate and I are going to pick up the extra hundred a night since it was a last minute change up and I had to take it or risk losing out on any houses to fit this many people. And frankly, I wasn't seeing any hotels with enough space to house everyone and gave meeting space that didn't cost considerably more. So, if there will be 10 sleeping there a night, it's 50 a piece. More than 10 and we start chipping down that number.

The reservation on this one has been confirmed, though, so no having it drop out from under us like the last one. Bleh. The rent and deposit all have to be paid 2 months prior to the stay, though, so I'm going to go ahead and shell it out up front myself and then everyone can just cover it back to me when you all get here. I'm not in a hurry so you guys don't have to worry about shelling it out before you even get here. Just pony up when you arrive. ;)

Taishyr · « **Reply #88 on:** March 31, 2008, 07:37:29 AM »

Stance reversed yet again to "last thing to do is buy the tickets", thanks to Gate, QR and my dad.

I'll be wanting to talk to you two about it soon, but for now, thanks again and I promise to do what I can to help.

Taishyr · « **Reply #89 on:** April 06, 2008, 01:35:14 PM »

Okay. Do we have any time we've got people leaving on that Sunday?

If not, I'm going to start the trend and ask my dad to get me a flight out around 3:00 PM-4:00 PM. Leaves plenty of time in the morning to help clean up and all, and gets me back into Kalamazoo at a sane time for my dad to pick me up.

Taishyr · « **Reply #90 on:** April 15, 2008, 05:47:53 AM »

And tripleposting, mainly to keep this in everyone's heads to prepare but also to reserve a slot for details:

I leave on Sunday, the 27th, around 3:30 PM. Anyone else still scheduling, trying to leave around this time to save on trips will be a good idea, I guess? >_>

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #91 on:** April 19, 2008, 01:55:34 PM »

... I am *so* jealous now ;_;

Grefter · « **Reply #92 on:** April 23, 2008, 09:58:43 AM »

My flight times have changed for my return trip.

Brisbane Departure 12 July 2008 11:05 AM Arrival Los Angeles 12 July 2008 7:00 AM

Los Angeles Departure 13:53 PM 12 July 2008 Arrival Vancouver 12 July 2008 16:48 PM

San Francisco Departure 04 August 2008 18:50 PM Arrival Los Angeles 04 August 2008 20:10 PM

Los Angeles Departure 04 August 2008 23:20 PM Arrival Brisbane 06 AUgust 2008 06:05 AM

Not much difference, just spend an hour longer in SF which thankfully means an hour less in LAX I guess.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #93 on:** April 27, 2008, 12:41:11 AM »

Alrighty. Flight booked.

I'll be leaving from JFK on Wednesday July 23rd on Virgin America Flight 228 at 10:55AM, arriving at SFO at 2:05PM.

I'll be leaving from SFO on Sunday July 27th on Virgin America Flight 229 at 3:20PM, arriving home at 11:55PM.

Not bad. The plane is one of those new 320 Airbuses. Pretty snazzy and a good price too.

Taishyr · « **Reply #94 on:** May 05, 2008, 11:53:16 PM »

13 July from Beijing to Vancouver, I leave 4:20, get to Vancouver 12:20 PM.

From Vancouver, July 13, I leave at 3:45 PM and arrive in San Fransisco 6:05 PM.

Flight out is July 27, 2:45 PM. Not that you guys care, but I get back home at 11:25 PM. Woo.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #95 on:** May 07, 2008, 03:20:52 PM »

Well damnit all to hell, I guess I'll be seeing you freaks in July after all.

Yakumo · « **Reply #96 on:** May 07, 2008, 05:21:14 PM »

Everything looks good for me to come as well, I'll probably pick up plane tickets after payday next week.

superaielman · « **Reply #97 on:** May 07, 2008, 05:45:58 PM »

;_; But but it's a short bus ride!

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #98 on:** May 07, 2008, 06:36:35 PM »

Yeah, so here are the flight times so we all know:

I'd arrive at 11:19am on Wed Jul 23, leave Mon Jul 28 at 12:30am. Those are the plane leaving/arriving times. No one cares when I actually get back to or leave from Pittsburgh, so I won't mention that. The airport I am arrive/leaving from in CA is SFO.

Guess that new laptop I bought will get use afterall. Damn me buying a computer that can now run ePSXe without crashing every 5 seconds.

*prepares to install when it arrives*

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #99 on:** May 07, 2008, 08:04:21 PM »

So it's me, OK and super on Wednesday (not including the SF crew) so far?

Save me Jeebus ;-;
