Put me down for an uncertain: There's a decent chance I could be able to go, and a decent chance I won't. Dunno yet. Lack of cash sucks. >_>

Oh, forgot to say this but...

If you don't mind me asking, what is the earliest for arrivals, and latest for leaving?  I'm asking mainly so I know what kind of time frame to look at (and conversely, AVOID) for when buying my ticket.

Similarly, what Airport should I be flying into?

If this is the wrong place to bring this up, I apologize <_<;

Minor update: apparently this place I just started working at is pretty good about letting people get time off, and they let people request it three months in advance.  So, that's about when I'll be able to tell you for sure if I'm going to make it, but it looks fairly good right now.

Airport first: My preference is SFO (San Francisco), but if you can find a cheaper flight into SJC (San Jose) or OAK (Oakland) I can grab people from there as well.  SJC's about a 45 minute drive from my place and Oakland can take upwards of that long even though it's close due to Bay Bridge traffic and having to drive through San Francisco proper.

Arrivals/Departs: The beach house will be ours on that Thursday-Sunday.  Those arriving before or leaving after can stay at our place (bunk bed plus couch and floor space available-international peeps and girls get dibs) or grab a hotel room.  I'm happy to pick people up or drop them off when convenient.  My work hours are majorly flexible.  I'm taking all of Thursday off to chauffer, but I can swing time off as needed to grab people on other days.  So far I don't think we have any definate arrival/departure times for anyone, though.

Alright, my plane tickets are booked, my credit card is in debt.  So I am coming for certains.

I am flying to Vancouver International Airport first and getting down from there however I have to, depart from San Francisco International Airport.

Will arrive in Vancouver on Saturday 13th July in the afternoon (Note to self, give complete flight details to person on the other end this time, like three times and in bold and underlined.  Just so when I am running through everything I can see that I have sent it).

My flight out from San Francisco is on 4th August in the afternoon. 

I have to spend a total of a bit over 10 hours in LAX over the whole trip.  Thankfully it is the only stop over this time.... but 6 hours there is going to suck hard.  I get in at 7 in the morning and don't leave until nearly 2.  Boarding early hopefully.

Fuck LAX.

Check for the schedule, I should be able to come. Have a new job in summer, but I don't think it'll conflict the schedule. But even it does, it'll not conflict with the plab for those who are dropping by my town.

Grefter, exact arrival and departure times would be coo'.

EDIT: Though I just noticed you're flying into Vancouver. On uhh July 13th? (Remember, con date is July 24-27, Hal and Alex are only staying till Aug 4 because they, along with Snow and I, plan to do stuff in SF)

I am either presuming that you have had a sudden urge to tour British Columbia with elves and beavers or you got a date mixup. Hopefully the former, and that you also have transportation plans to SF itself from there.

As far as departure goes, yeah just make sure that you've got things to do from July 27-Aug 4. I doubt any of us other folks staying past the con mind the company but we won't be staying at QR/Gate, soo if you are planning on having company around go chat it up with 'em and Hal.


To Niu, and prospective others and those already confirmed - if you're not opting for the beach house and have alternate plans for housing, please be sure to state this... like... as soon as you're sure, so we have an idea on space, the share of the rent, and whatnot.

NEB: I'm sure I (or more likely QR) can take a broader look at hotels, but unless you're willing to drive to the con gathering place on a daily basis, finding a reasonably priced room isn't likely in the area, period. The particular Lighthouse quoted is extravagant due to being literally waterfront, yes, but expect at least upwards of 100-120 even for inland locations, and probably a 20 minute drive at the least.

Yeah I want to spend a bit of time up in Canada before coming down.  It is a long flight, you badly need to do some real holiday things to make it worth it.  I knew when the Con dates were.  I figured leaving the 4th was a good enough time to abuse you, Hal, Alex and Snow if I felt like it or to abscond mc or whoever for a while.

Alright, specifics of my whole flight schedule.

Hey Gate/QR: I asked about this earlier, but I want to be sure. It'd save me over 100 dollars to fly out wednesday and leave monday night. Would that be fine? I'd be perfectly happy to help clean up/prepare as need be while I'm there during the extra time.

<amusement in voice>  No nevah! </amusement>

Is fine. :)  Wed-Mon should be fine.  We'll have enough room I believe between bed/couch/floor space for everyone who needs to stay over before/past the dates of the con itself. (At least that have expressed an interst/need so far)

Alright, on the Peeps At My House thing:

Wednesday: Snow, Laggy, Super will all be here. Tai might, dunno what time he's getting in.
Thursday: Tai
Friday: Tai
Saturday: Tai
Sunday: Super, Meeple, possibly Tai

Grefter, I know Laggy has you down as staying at my place for the duration of the Con at least, but I can't remember you ever saying that's what you were doing. If it's my memory acting up, slap me and I'll edit you in here, if not, what are your housing plans gonna be for the con itself? Beachhouse? Invade MC?

I hadn't really planned that far ahead.  Assuming I can hold down this job for a while then I should have the funding to chip in at the house or a hotel room or whatever.  I am pretty easy with what happens.

Edit - And it sounds like you will have a fair few people there on the Wednesday and Sunday, so I kind of wouldn't want to impose.  Also depends when Vancouver types get down there and what their plan is.

I'm not staying at Gate's overnight on Wednesday in all likelihood so don't worry so much about that, especially if room is a concern. If international people want to book at the beachhouse, that's fine, just say so (I have them listed at Gate's as he said that people flying overseas get priority to save on housing costs.)

Like I said, I need to wait to clarify on when I'll be coming until mid-late March, but since I won't know for a while, should I just plan on rooming in a hotel, assuming that the house space will be taken up already?  I guess I should probably wait for more people to weigh in first.

House only has 9 people in it right now. Even if everyone who's a tentative right now showed up, there'd still be enough room. Unless there's another jump of people planning to attend, it should accomodate everyone who hasn't already declared alternative housing.

Still planning to be there; still potentially available for some hosting duties (though northwest San Francisco is a good hour's drive away from Pacifica).

Tentatively my plan is to attend my sister's wedding in Vancouver the week prior, then drive down with NEB and Grefter.

Confirmation that I'm coming!

Yeah, got my ticket ordered and everything.  Anyway, here's the jist of it:

Leave at 8:45 EST AM from Newark on Thursday, so I should arrive at 12:06 your time (whatever that's called.)  I'll call regardless whenever I finally get off the plane.  Coming into San Fransisco.

I am returning Monday the 28th at 10:10 PM from San Fransisco as well.  One day later than the con technically ends, yes, but its cheaper that way and all that.

EDIT: Airline I believe is Continental.
