Cool thanks QR.  I am going to be putting down that address for details of where I am staying in the states since I don't remember if I have really actually sorted anything solid out for after the Con >_>

So we currently have 14 peeps staying at the beach house.  That puts the daily rate down to $36 a night.  If we slip another soul in there (that'd be 3 people more than beds, though, not sure what kind of good idea that would be), it comes down to $34 a night.  MC made a post earlier about accomodations.  Not sure if that's the route you want to go or not.

We have bunks and a couch and love seat at our place that are pretty comfy if we have overflow peeps.  Tai's got prior claim to one of those through his stay and Ciato will have claim to one when she gets here (yay!). Other than that, if the house proves smaller than advertised, we can work on shuffling people.  I REALLY wish we'd been able to look in before renting the blessed thing.

Basically, either someone with a car will need to stay at my apartment, or I'll be wanting to stay at the beach house/sleep on a couch.  The location of my apartment is excellent for public transportation if I want to go east to Downtown, but terrible for public transportation if I want to go south to Pacifica.

Flight times!

Wed Jul 23     786     Depart Phoenix(PHX) at 02:00 PM
Arrive in San Jose(SJC) at 03:50 PM


Sun Jul 27    3659    Depart San Jose(SJC) at 06:05 PM
Arrive in Phoenix(PHX) at 08:55 PM

Why SJC? Meeting up with an uncle for a day, he'll drive me over to Pacifica/pick me up when it's time to leave.

QuietRain, how do I pay for staying at the beach house?

Moving the chauffer list up again as it's 2 pages back now.  Xer's stuff added in (but not for picking up/dropping off since he has that covered, just arival/departure times for reference).

Xeroma    Wed 7-23 3:50pm                                     Sun 7-27 8:55pm
Ciato        Friday 7-25 11:10pm                                 
Shale       Thur 7-24 3:15pm
Dhyer                                                                         Sun 7-27 7:05pm

Pick ups at the airport will be at the baggage claim section because that’s prolly the easiest meeting place to arrange.  So, times below are when I will be at the baggage claim area for pick up.  All below assumes SFO (San Francisco).  If I missed that you’re flying into OAK or SJC instead, post here and let me know.

Anyone landing who wants my cell number in case we have trouble meeting up, just PM me for it at some point before you leave.  I’ll have my cell on me. 

For departure times, I figured on dropping you guys off one and a half hours early for security stuff.  If you want to be there earlier than that, just let me know.

Tried to consolidate picking up trips as best as I could without making people stay too long at the airport.  I’m going to need to park and twice a day parking fees at the airport is about my comfort level.  No one should be at the airport longer than an hour.

SUNDAY 7-13
6:00pm - Tai

WEDNESDAY 7-23
2:00pm – Soppy & OK
9:00pm - Super

THURSDAY 7-24
noon - CK & Meeple
1:00 – Hal & Alex (Laggy to provide)
3:00pm – Shale, Yakko & Niu

FRIDAY 7-25
11:00 – Ciato

SUNDAY 7-27
1:00pm – Tai
2:00 – Soppy & Niu
3:00 - Yakko
5:30 - Dhyer (Oakland)
8:00 - CmdrKing
11:00pm – OK (*wince and sympathy at red eye flights*)

MONDAY 7-28
8:30pm – Meeple & Super

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, next issue:
Payments.  I can take cash or money orders/cashier's checks.  $36 a night if someone with a car is staying at MC's place, $33 a night if he ends up having to stay at the beach house.  All of this stuff has already been prepaid to the homeowner, so no worries about a timeline.  Just sometime before you leave is good enough for me.  I'm not really picky.  I know where you're all staying.  *grin*

Gate: at Vancouver Airport. Will be leaving here ~30 minutes later than expected, so you may wish to factor that in.

Also, as a warning, I have absolutely no clue where my appetite is or will be on arrival, so.

And picking up Tai reminded me that one VITAL piece of info I would like to ask that all folks flying in provide me: What airline you're flying.  *grin*  Luckily, I was able to do some facy search-fu and figured it out for Tai, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.  Just edit your post with your flight info to include the airline info as well if it isn't already there.  Thanks!

Okay, my relevant flight info.

Arrival- I'd the same BART that Andrew and Ashley are using.
Departure- Sunday 27, 7:05 PM, OAKLAND airport (Figured it people are dropped off at SFO around 2ish, that should give me navigation time with public transportation). Note that I could bump this up or back depending on scheduling and such.
...into the nightfall.

So it is less than a week to a con and

a) I don't think everyone's posted airlines yet. This means we won't know which terminal to go to to pick you up, so unless you like getting lost in airports I suggest you do this!

b) I've gotten a grand total of one cell phone number. If you don't want to give up your number for whatever reason, that's fine, but compound this with (a) and we may never find you. It's not that far away anymore, folks, people need to get in and get organized like... now. Again, PMing this information to QR and myself would be grand.

Laggy, do you still have my cell phone number from last year when you were travelling up this way?  It hasn't changed.  I'll try and remember to PM it to you when I get home if you don't.

I took the liberty of forwarding Laggy the list of cell phone numbers OK got together last year. That includes Alex, me, OK, Super, Ciato, yours, Niu, Gate and Hal's numbers, unless any of them have changed since a year ago.

Updated Attendance List

Total DLC3 Attendees: 23

Beach House (15)

It is exactly $100 USD per person for house payment ($33.3 a night, totals up nicely with 15 people). Please be ready with this in cash or money orders/cashier's checks for QR, she really went out of her way to grab this place ASAP when it looked like we were out of housing options!

For the period of time that the beach house isn't open on start con day (Thursday) and end con day (Sunday) we'll have people at the Gate/QR residence. For those who aren't arriving by air, please consult with them personally on pickup/organization directions. (Some people are arriving by BART, others by car, etc.) I believe this applies to NEB, Xeroma, Dhyer, Andy, LadyDoor, MC, and Monkey.
