It's $1 per 12 minutes (I mean really!  Who thinks this stuff up!?  Why not per 15 minutes?).  For a single drop off it won't be but a couple of dollars at most.  It's just adding up the totality of (so far) 5 different pick ups that I want to keep in my safe range.  And not everyone has thier tickets yet, so there will be a couple stops more coming up possibly (depending on landing time).

Edited my post for Ciato's flying in time. 

Went down to see the beach house this past weekend.  You guys are literally a house away from the cliff overlooking the ocean.  Your view is killer.  Gate and I are going to go down sometime in the next couple of weeks to find the walk way down to the beach itself.  I could see a couple of people walking down there so I know there's an entrance somewhere, it's just not really apparent standing on the cliff where that would be located.

Grocery store and deli within walking distance (even by my standards and I have all the walking stamina of a beached whale).  Not too much fast food, though.  Taco Bell is about the only thing close (not much farther than the grocery store & deli).  There's also a rather decent chinese place there.  Although by decent, I mean decent for the area which isn't saying much.  You'd think with the asian population we have here, finding good chinese would not be a problem.  But then, you would be wrong.

It's about a mile and a half STRAIGHT downhill from our apartment, too, so that's nice.  And about a 5-10 minute drive to the bowling alley.

Beach house pictures!



The house itself. It looks small from the outside but I'm pretty sure it'll fit the twelve of you currently allotted for it comfortably, or so at least the realtor claims.



Yeah, that's like 30 seconds down the street from the house. No actual beach access I saw, sadly, but the sidewalk runs along the cliff line and it's a view to kill.



View in the other direction down the street.

Plane tickets get!

Arrival is 3:12 p.m. on Thursday, on United Flight #217 from Washington, D.C.
I don't have a flight to catch on Sunday, but I'll be bumming a ride into SF if I can so as to meet family in town. I'll be staying with them for the rest of the vacation and flying home on Monday.

From the looks of things, I'll be getting my tickets somewhere around the 11th to the 14th, depending on if my parents aren't too lazy when we get our paycheck.

QR is already aware, but just so everyone ELSE isn't shocked by it: Andrew and I decided to crash in the beach house with the rest of y'all. It'll be nice and cozy, I'm sure. <_<

Okay, after copious persuasion, Super has likely got me to come to this thing kind of. I'd stay with my best friend the first day, so real need to worry about arrival times. After that, I'd probably take show up at the airport the same time another person/group was being picked up. This whole thing isn't 100% yet, since I do have to do some more planning with her, but it hopefully should be pretty soon. Leaving times shouldn't be much of an issue since Southwest alone basically has a flight every hour, and I'd probably just need to get near a train station in SF because I'd be flying out of Oakland for crazy savings fun.

Haven't kept up with the topic and catching up--what are the housing details on this lot?  (Potentially if someone with a car stayed at my apartment that would work.  Otherwise, public transportation to pacifica kind-of sucks, so I'll need to look for some kind of accommodation).

Us bums will be paying, which brings the cost per person down 2 more notches. Hooray!

Dhyer: There is a train system that runs near the Oakland airport (AirBART -> BART, the Bay Area subway) and goes all the way to Daly City/Millbrae/South San Francisco, which is where SFO is. I think it's possible (I hope, since Andrew and I rely on the same thing) to arrange some way to make that work with extant pick-up schedules.

metroid: Andrew and I are carless in Berkeley. Hooray. We're moving from "other forms of housing" to "beach house" though.

I'm sorry to say, but, due to some recent implosions, I will be unable to attend DL Con this year.

That said, I am still looking forward to meeting those of you who will be visiting Vancouver before, or after, the con.

So, per request in chat, more info on the house.  They just sent me an EM this morning saying they got the last deposit so we're golden.  And the notice also came with a long list of things about the house.  Info below:

-Location: 110 W Avalon Dr, Pacifica, CA 94044
-There is a phone that can be used for local numbers there.
-There is wireless throughout the house.  The code is written inside the house.
-The TV contains basic cable if you really get bored.
-The house is non-smoking inside.
-There are 4 bedrooms and 3 baths set up with beds for 12.  Places on the floor/couches are unknown, but I'm betting there's a bit here and there.  If not, we have tons of floor space up with us as well as space for 2-3 people to sleep on beds/couches.  We're all of like a 3 minute drive to the beach house.
-We can not enter earlier than 4pm on Thursday (first I heard of that).  Means we're going to have our place be a tad cozy with the first few picked up on Thursday until it's time to walk/drive down the hill to the house.
-We must vacate the premises before 10am on Sunday (first I'd heard of that one, too, bleh).  Again, we'll just move the fun up to our place for the little while everyone is left here.
