THX1138 August 31, 2006 Share THX1138 Member August 31, 2006 think we could get some laptops and a few AC inverters and set up our own little CS lan? My family drove to wisconsin and we killed our suburbans battery and alternator using one of those. I was doing so well in ghost recon when the car died at 70 mph. Instead of renting a bus just go down together in a bus (greyhound) We would have: Jackie Brillow_Head Disco Geek Ephemeral Farmer Brew? anybody else? My friend Djojo is from MN and he was there last year. some of you may remember him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan September 1, 2006 Share JackieChan GC Alumni September 1, 2006 Dang... alot of people from MN are goin... how are we gonna do this? Have our own little "Amazing Race" type thing so we can all get there? Fatty has to set up the clues for us first and provide travel money.

Brillow_Head September 1, 2006 Share Brillow_Head Member September 1, 2006 (edited) So its looking like a 15 passanger van with a u-haul trialer...I'll look up the pricing. Also, I'd like to go to he golf outing so that may affect things. Upadate: Icky! Looks like a van would be cost prohibitive...ie, $900 just to rent a 12 seat van from the 25th to the 30th. Then you have to pay between 0.26 and 0.30 cents a mile additional and if we left from Minneapolis tha would be another $450. Factor in gas at 20mpg would be $250 on the low side. Add the cost of a uhaul trialer (probably like $9.95 a day). Basically, if we packed 12 people in the van, threw all the luggage and comps in the trailer, we'd have to come up with $150 a piece. Is that too much?? That doesn't include food or lodging once we get there... Only other way I can see is if we carpool, with 2 people per car and 3 people per SUV leaving room for luggage and comps in each vehicle. Then we'd split gas between vehicle passengers. At 30mpg (on the high side) and two people per car then youd have to come up with 75 bucks a piece just for gas. Thats a 50% savings right off the bat, but you'd miss out on a van full of fun. Discuss.... Edited September 1, 2006 by Brillow_Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[LaW]Maverick September 18, 2006 Share [LaW]Maverick Member September 18, 2006 To the Van Renters: Check out Enterprise's rates, they don't charge for leaving the state. At least, the enterprise I've rented from doesn't. Also, count me in for sure, this time I'm making enough money to not have to bail. I'm getting married in June (on the 17th), so that gives me enough time to go on my honeymoon and have a wedding. Just as I'm getting settled in back home, I can go to FF07! Hell, maybe by then I will have taught her how to play and she'll want to come too! Oh, and I'm so happy I bought this laptop now...SLi means all I need to do is take this baby with me...no muss, no fuss, and no CRT and tower weighing my butt down!

TheGeek September 23, 2006 Share TheGeek Member September 23, 2006 If we do a ride share, dont count on me or discom having a car. My car has 257,000 miles on it. And discom doesnt have one. We could switch people between gas breaks to keep it interesting. Greyhound charges $99 to get there. round trip. The only problem would be bringing our comps on a greyhound bus. But to all have us on the same bus would be shweeet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly it would probably be better then my Pc is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
