[EAST] Carpooling Thread

edited January 2012 in PAX Archive
I couldn't find the carpool thread (if there is one) so I apologize if this is in bad taste. I'll be driving from Windsor, Ont to Boston and would like to give people a ride. My car can comfortably fit 4, but can fit 5 if need be (keep in mind that I'll be driving so that's 3-4 open spots). If you live within a 20 minute drive of Windsor and aren't afraid to leave at 10pm on the Thursday, give me a PM or just reply to the thread.
P.S: If there's a carpool thread, link me to it so I can delete this thread.
EDIT: I'll be flying so I'm out for carpooling BUT you guys and gals can still arrange stuff via the thread!

    Maybe you could edit your OP and Title to make it a general carpooling thread?

    I'm at least one of me, and I might need a ride!
    That's if you're willing to make a slight detour into southern Kitchener, of course. Have you decided on travel dates yet?

  • blizzakblizzak Registered User new member
    Hmm, a friend and I made the trip 2 years ago, still have to talk to him but I want to go this year. He's in Kitchener and I'm in Mississauga. 10 pm eh, guess it'd be a late night drive. Sending PM!

    If anyone is planning on driving up from Maryland/Baltimore, then I could use a ride. I'm willing to help pay for gas!

    I'm trying to figure out whether we'll be driving or flying from Baltimore. I would potentially be okay with driving, so long as others can share drive time/gas/tolls and our schedules match up. That said, driving 7 hours after PAXWEEKENDINSANITY™ sounds like the worst idea.

    Also also, parking in Boston is stupid expensive-so ideally split that, too?

    Shadowstep, cyanosaurus: I'm definitely trying to drive or ride with someone from Baltimore. The hotel I'm looking at actually has free parking.

    any one doing local car pooling? since the one hassel with using trains and busses is they shut down right at 12 so if you cant get to a comuter train in time your screwed

    I'm going to be staying in Newton, let me know where you are going to be coming from/going and we can talk about carpooling to/from the con.

    It isn't that bad actually depending on where you park. I didn't stay at the hotel but I used the convention center _valet_ and it was 20 bucks per day which really is honestly not bad. If you use one of the remote lots that you catch a shuttle bus from iirc it was 10 bucks per day. Don't quote me on that as an exact price because I didn't use that option.

  • JerYnkFanJerYnkFan Registered User regular
    Just as a FYI, looking at the Convention Center website, Valet is 25 bucks and self-park is 12.

  • BluestreakWRXBluestreakWRX Friendly voice in the 'verse BostonRegistered User regular
    I live in the area, so if anyone needs a local sherpa, let me know.

  • PNeafseyPNeafsey Registered User regular
    I'll be driving up from NJ (right outside of Philadelphia) on Friday around noon and returning on Tuesday night if anyone needs a ride.

    I'll be staying at Boston University, but could use a ride from there to the convention center (can split parking, so we can all save).

    With so many things in flux for me right now, I can't really say if Thursday afternoon works for me or not. I'll have to remember to get back to you on this in a week or two.

    Anyone driving up Thurs, coming home Sun, and heading through the Philly/South Jersey area?
    I may even drive up myself if anyone is along the way and willing to split some expenses (gas, tolls, maybe parking?).

    Anyone want to try and organize a caravan? I'm driving up from Florida. I'm debating leaving early Wednesday morning and taking my time or leave Wednesday night and go a bit faster.

    Hey Doc, I'm from Florida, the only problem is I need to get in by Wednesday, have a room that night, and people to meetup with.

    Anybody driving from NYC? I'd love to get up in some carpool...

    Otherwise, it's Megabus for me. But I'll throw in for gas! And my inspiring aptitude for banter of course...

  • hizzohizzo Registered User regular
    I may need a ride to a party Friday night

  • cleanjermscleanjerms Registered User new member
    I'm driving up from Delaware on Thursday and wouldn't mind someone tagging along. Some gas money might nice. I'm not leaving until Sunday as I have to work one of the booths.

  • KasiukeKasiuke Registered User new member
    Is anyone returning to the Syracuse/upstate NY area on Sunday night? I'm driving two people down who have to be back by the Monday morning after PAX East, but I'm unable to drive them back until Tuesday morning. I would be forever grateful if I could find them rides instead of sending them back on buses.

  • Oldmangloom315Oldmangloom315 [ENFORCER] Boston, MARegistered User regular
    I have room for two more in my car leaving Wednesday night from Syracuse, heading back on Tuesday. Let me know if anyone needs a ride from anywhere between here and there, PM me and we can work out the details.

  • gerafingerafin Registered User regular
    Leaving from Keene, NH midday Thursday, traveling to central Vermont to pick a friend up, then going straight from there to Boston.
    So if anybody needs a ride along that route, let me know. I'll be making the same ride back in reverse EARLY Monday morning (but you're free to sleep in the car).
    I have 2 seats open, gas money would be appreciated, even if it's not much - good company would be appreciated more!

    Planned on going up to Boston on Friday morning but plans have changed. Will need to get there on Thursday as early as possible. Is anyone planning to get into Boston on Thursday and leaving from Washington D.C. or NoVA?

    I am and, as an update, none of the people who have contacted me about a ride so far have given me a definite yes that they will be needing a ride. Anyone else who needs a ride from the dc metro area to boston leaving thursday should drop me a line at chirishman@gmail.com

    Return date isn't set in stone at the moment, but its either sunday late or monday morning.

    Hey! If you end up going through NC let me know and toss details. I was hoping to get there thursday-ish and leave sunday night/monday morning or whatever is good for you!

    Hi,

    I saw there are a few of you driving from the CNY/Syracuse area. I live in Onondaga and am looking for a ride. Totally willing to throw in for gas/tolls, and if you're looking for something to do Thursday night, can hook the driver up with an extra ticket I have for the Harmonix/GiantBomb Rock Band event at the Brattle theater in Harvard Square.

    I am looking to leave Thursday and return on Monday, but can be a little flexible on those times (I saw someone was leaving Wednesday night, and another who is coming back on Tuesday). It's also not important to me to ride with the same people both ways, just looking to get to Boston and back without taking a bus if possible.

    If you are one of the people who are driving from the area, or someone who can pass through, please let me know ASAP!

    I'm going to quote this because I too am in NC and in need of a ride. I'm in Charlotte though. Would be willing to chip in for gas etc if anyone is kind enough to offer a ride.

    Anyone going to be getting in at North Station on the Commuter Rail? If so, what line?

  • HigherLevelHigherLevel Registered User new member
    Anyone driving down from the Toronto area? My ride fell through and I am frantically looking for another one. Worst case I may drive down myself, so if you are looking for a ride from Toronto or driving from Toronto let me know.
