I saw this format for a thread from last years travel and I thought it would be a good idea to do it this year. Please use I NEED A RIDE! to request a ride and SPACE AVAILABLE to let people know you need carpooling. Hopefully this will make things cheaper (and greener) for travellers.

I'm going back home on - September 3,2012

Basically I can be counted on to give you a ride to PAX on both Friday & Saturday (possibly Sunday). You might have to find your own way home however as I tend to be something of a lone wolf at cons (I like going off on my own... see more that way). Most likely meetup place would be the Ash Way Park and Ride and/or the Lynnwood Transit Center.

Coming from: Sacramento, CA
Planned route(s): I-5

Coming from - San Diego, CA
Planned route(s) - Straight shoot up either I-5 or I-15
I'm leaving for PAX on - I fly out on the 30th at like 9am. So to avoid LA traffic as best I can I will be leaving my house around 4am
I'm going back home on - Fly home on the 3rd my flight gets back around 10am labor day, so I'll be leaving once i get my luggage
Seats available - 3
Cargo capacity - I drive a ford explorer so it has a good amount of storage space in the back and depending on how many of you there are we could also use the back seat.
Requests, etc. - Just help pay for gas,food, parking and don't be a jerk. Since it is a relatively short drive and we'll have the flight/day before PAX to regroup I think I should be able to drive it all myself, but please be potentially ready to drive a ford explorer.

Need to return on Friday night as I only have a Friday pass, so preferably you also are coming back that night. Willing to consider one-way trip and I'll return on my own steam, but that means a night in the bus station as I have no accommodations arranged.
It's a longshot at this point, but 'you miss 100% of the shots you don't take'.
