Vancouver (B.C.) Carpooling

Just wondering who would be willing to carpool on the way to/from PAX? If we don't all take separate cars, then we can reduce gas costs and maybe wait times at the border the day of PAX.
Anyone interested?

Well, if anything changes, this thread'll be the first to know.
Also the U.S. border patrol guy last year was one of the biggest douchebags I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.
They all are. They're paid to be douchebags.
They're paid douchebags.
His name was Wang.

He also demanded a permission note from my parents even though my 18th birthday was in less than 24 hours.
As for border guard stories, when I went down last year, my conversation with the guard went like this:
Guard: Where you off to?
Me: Gaming convention.
Guard: Elaborate.
Me: Mario Kart Tourney++!
Guard: Nintendo teh kiddy olol
Me: NO U
And then I drove off >_<
On the way back, my conversation with another guard went like this:
Guard: So what were you doing in Seattle?
Me: I was on an adventure (actual words!)
Guard: Carry on.
I was so tempted to get a picture of our last border guard named Wang, but I doubt he'd have appreciated my sense of humour.
It's like calling my manager at work Master when his last name is Bator (no joke)

EDIT: also, these three seats be bench. Just sayin'
As far as I'm concerned, it's first come first serve for the seating.
Number of seats available now - 2.
Seat A: Me.
Seat B: Empty at the moment, but I have a few people in mind who I'm planning to invite. Email me if you need a ride and I'll put you in line.
WANTED: A person age 25+ with a full license, whose presence will free up seats C, D and E. Stupid ICBC...
Ahaha. Silly new license people. I got my way back before those vancouver kids started killing themselves and anyone else with street racing. All I need are:
1) Glasses
2) No blood alcohol content
And I can fill me car!
Maybe I'll get my liscence when I'm 25, just to avoid all those problems. :P
Don't work that way IIRC. You still need to do the same shit, no matter your age.
Either way, I'm damned well going even if I have to ride my bike down there!
Heh.. I'm half tempted to suggest a PAX bike trip starting from the border. Would be fun. Plus the irony of doing something so healthy and actiave on the way to a gaming convention amuses me.
You have to go through mountains on the way. Plus it's really far. I'd much rather sit back and eat doritos

And that's exactly why I never got further than half tempted. :P

PM'ed.
Pleased to be forgiving my ignorance, as I'm an infrequent lurker, but is it crazy to suggest a Pre-PAX '06 Vancouver Meet-Up, perhaps sometime in the coming weeks? You know, bonding before le grande voyage.
Well, there's usually some partyage going down every few weeks with the PACult. Could always arrange a get together through them, pending PAC approval, of course.
