OK, I twisted my arm.

I'll see you guys there!

Bah, bad timing, I've already got a trip scheduled for SF at the end of the month, can't spare the time/cash for two trips in the month.

Let me emphasize Mazian's posts about SF. Heinous place to bring a car into unless you like dropping cash. If you don't have a friend who happens to have a parking spot to stash it, it can drain the bank account quickly! MUNI is fairly decent, and cheap, and occasionally entertaining. Personally, I tend to now come in through Oakland and BART when I fly, or actually, even when I drive!

Have fun folks, wish I could make it up for this, but the timing just doesn't work for me. Let's hear some good accounts of the events!

hmrpita- Gotta teach me the tricks! Ah but I've pretty much settled nowadays into just taking BART into the city, much less headache overall for me (I tend to wee bits of the road rage )

Yay, party time!

I'll be up there on the 4th. I'll just tell my work I have another "apointment" and get off early. Did that back when the axons started, so it should work this time. ^_^


I'm still debating with myself as to if I really want to try to drive up there or just hit Caltrain. My new office has me not too far away from the San Mateo station.

you know, haveing them playing on a movie screen may be the reason that it is being held on a thursday rather than a weekend. you would have alot of unhappy movie goers if you locked up several theater screens for a big lan party.

Okay. I sent a third message to Melissa. Hopefully she will not be angered at the multiple messages (I want to go/I can't go/I want to go) and smite me. I can reschedule the dentist, but not the 4th & Mission axon.

Halo 2 may be beyond me, but like I said to hmrpita, I can run around saying ilovebeesilovebees to strangers and fetch snacks for the crew.

I'm sure they'll have snack runners available so we'll all have more time to talk to strangers.

Confirmation emails are going out, I'm officially going. Woo Hoo!

I'm thinking about parking my car at the Alameda ferry terminal (free parking) and taking the ferry in. The ferry is $5.50 one way, but if you buy a book of tickets, the cost per ticket goes down. We could probably coordinate a bunch of people and all split the cost of a ticket book and bring down the cost of a ticket.

If we get 5 people together, a 10 ticket book costs $45, so the round trip price would be $9. There would be a walk from the ferry terminal to the event involved, but after answering all those phones, I don't think a walk would discourage anyone (unless it was really raining heavily). $9 is a decent deal, considering there's no parking fee. There's street parking not too far away if the lot's full, we could set up an ad hoc shuttle service or something if necessary. There's usually space available in the lot though.

I got my confirmation in response to the mail I just sent.

Wort wort! I just recieved my confirmation email as well.

Does anyone know the name of the building we are going to?

And does anyone know what exactly we are going to be doing? I'm assuming multiplayer over Live, but I don't want to get my hopes up. (If I do, my heart might just give out.)
