Where does blackdove live?

[blcdrayco]

Blackdove lives in Provo, UT.

Seems a shame to waste another whole car's worth of gas just for one person.  Eric, how uncomfortable would it be to squeeze one more in the back of your car on the way back only?

[Eric James Stone]

Hmm.  There is a third seatbelt in the back seat, so the car manufacturer obviously contemplated putting a third person there.  But I'd be hesitant to put three people back there for an all-day drive.

I've updated the rides list in the first post, and we're down more than one spot. Still unassigned are Toad and blackdove. I don't see how we can fit them in, though we might have room in Oldie's car on the way up (but not on the way back).

EJS, I just want to confirm that those three passengers are in your car both ways, rather than going up with Oldie and back with you.

I'm about to go through and update the room list, because it seems to have people on it who are not driving with us. Are they meeting us there? Were they originally going and have since bowed out?

[Spriggan]

Me thinks this road trip has gotten a little too big to manage especially considering several people only pop-in once in a while to check on the plans.

[Fellfrosch]

All right, you people. Pick one name and stick with it--this list is hard enough without realizing that I'm trying to make room for a jillion different names that only refer to one person.

I think I've got it figured out, without duplicating anyone or leaving anyone out.

For rooms, we can fit everybody in what we have if we put Oldie in EUOL's first room, Christopher in Toad's room, and then Howard Tayler wherever he wants to go (I assume he'll be in EJS's room, since he's coming up with him, but that's just a guess).

For rides, we're two seats short and probably need an extra car.

[Spriggan]

You do have trunks, they could be comfortable enough.

[Fellfrosch]

Note that when I say "figured it out," that doesn't mean I have a seat and a room for everyone, just that I have an up-to-date list of everyone who needs seats and rooms.

[EUOL]

Ah.  I hadn't noticed that EJS had found TWO friends to bring, not one.  That makes things even more tricky.  

Eric, why do you have to be so darn popular?

[Fellfrosch]

Christopher added to Toad's room.

Oldie added to EUOL's first room (tentatively).

Do we have an idea of the cost breakdown for rooms with four and five people in them?

[EUOL]

My rooms are $100 per night, no matter who we stick in them.  So, wed night-Saturday night=$400, or $100 per person for a room with four.  $80 for a room with five.  That is BEFORE taxes, which are probably around %15.

NOTE--I just emailed my Conduit contacts and asked if either of them (Charlie or Helge) have room in their cars for two more people.  
NOTE2--the Worldcon rooms ARE sold out, so just be warned!

[Fellfrosch]

It looks like we're okay for rooms, just not cars.

[Eric James Stone]

EJS, I just want to confirm that those three passengers are in your car both ways, rather than going up with Oldie and back with you.

That's correct.

Regarding rooms, Howard will be in my room.  Spencer will be staying with people he knows.

[Shrain]

Hey, Christopher, I got that check today. Thanks so much for taking the ticket off my hands. Have FUN! (Hope all the car rides work out!)
