VGL Louisville Meetup - pics pg 22+

Anyone who would mind temp spotting you money so you COULD rent a car? Not like they're not going to get it back, so ya know.

/shrugs

Short answer: No. That's a lot of money to ask for.

[big giant circles]

how about trying for like a $300 or however much bank loan? i wouldn't think it'd be too hard to get one for that small of an amount. and since it'd just be to cover the deposit to rent a car, you'd be able to pay it back quickly...

dunno man, i'm just trying to help come up with suggestions.

maybe you can commit her g-ma to a home and seize control of her assets

[Nekofrog]

Okay, we know a guy who is willing to take us. He works on campus here, but isn't willing to let us borrow his car, but is willing to take us. That means we could still swing by and pick up Sinewave, but we'd be riding with someone else. He'd stay at a motel, and being that he's older he wouldn't be along with us for anything. Just a ride.

This is all if he can work out his schedule though, so I'd say it's about 70% likely.

FUCKING CAR!

Edit: We got the ride. Sinewave, we can still snag you should you need the ride.

[ifirit]

Ifirit, will you be at the hotel around then to meet us and let us in?

I'm planning on being in Louisville about 3pm, barring traffic. CHECK-IN IS AT 4PM, I REPEAT, CHECK-IN IS AT 4PM. We'll just be waiting until that time.

Woo! I live less than an hour away from the meetup and I just now saw this. Doesn't it suck to be me?

You're invited to come hang-out with us before or after the concert, or to see The Dark Knight. (I purchased 1 too many tickets and so we've got an open seat.) We'll be meeting in the lobby of the 21c Museum Hotel. BGC, would you please update the front page of this thread with the information that I posted before?

FUCKING CAR!

I'm renting a car, so if worst comes to worst, I can provide transportation. However, I'll have to change my pick-up time to accomodate, which won't be a problem if I know before tomorrow. I'm cool with picking-up sinewav, too. PM me the details if you decide to pick-up my offer.

[Nekofrog]

If you are alright with it, we would honestly much rather have you pick us up, because having this guy give us a ride is really asking a lot.

It'd also save us on his hotel room, and of course we'd all contribute to the gas situation. Let us know.

[big giant circles]

Very cool. Seems things are coming together after all. A couple curveballs keeps us agile, right?

Ifirit, 1st post has been updated.

[big giant circles]

Shirts are normally $10 + $7 for shipping here on the site.

I think I'm going to round it up to an even $12 to cover shipping back to Dave for any we don't sell. I would imagine parking would be free at the hotel - which isn't that in walking distance?

[Sinewav]

Lets see here... road trip with ifirit and neko +1? And splitting the gas money 3 ways?

Eh. Why not?

Also, we all should PM ifirit our cellphone numbers just in case. That way we don't find ourselves in a situation like waiting at the hotel wondering if bgc is ever going to show up.

[big giant circles]

actually, yes, i forgot to mention that. i've already got ifirit's number. those of you who are coming, PM me if you'd like mine.

[Tai_Zidek]

I have still yet to get ahold of the other 2 people I am coming with, nor found a taker for my extra ticket (orchestra seats, row c, seat 11 or 13 can't remember which.)Once I get ahold of my friends I will see if we are going to meet up with you guys or not.

EDIT: Just got off the phone, we will more than likely make it to the meetup at the hotel. We won't be staying at the hotel, living about 45 minutes away and all, but are up for pre-/post-show shenanigans. No one else I know is able to come, so if anyone needs an extra ticket just let me know and I will hand it to you at the hotel or before the show starts.

[Nekofrog]

Also, FYI, a groundrule:

NO MASTURBATING TO FURRY PORN ON YOUR LAPTOP AT THE MEETUP WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS AROUND.

Before you ask, yes, it has been an issue before.

Your wording is a little muddled. I'm not sure I quite understand what you're trying to get at here. Could you clarify?

Come on, it's gonna be sweet. Plus, we'll be saving some green by carpooling.

Hey, I'm going to have transportation.

How much is parking?

I called to double-check the parking rates. While the standard valet costs $21 at the hotel, parking on the street is free after 6pm on the weekends. There are also a few public parking garages in the area. I'll get a more detailed list before tomorrow.

Ifirit, 1st post has been updated.

Thanks, Jimmy.

$21? Ouch. I'd certainly be interested in cheaper rates.

[ifirit]

$21? Ouch. I'd certainly be interested in cheaper rates.

Here's a map of public parking places in downtown Louisville. Scroll over the location to get more detail on pricing and hours. 529 W. Market street (about 2 blocks from the hotel) has weekend parking available for $2, although it's just a surface lot. Otherwise, you're looking at parking costing about $6-$7 at any other location. Again, street parking is available for free after 6pm tomorrow.

Louisville Parking Map

BGC, would you mind adding the Louisville Parking Map to the first post?

[Nekofrog]

Sinewave, if you haven't yet, you REALLY need to get ahold of (ie call) ifrit. Our directions hinge on it.

[Sinewav]

I got a hold of him. Everything should be going cool now. Sorry if I caused any trouble.

[big giant circles]

sweetness. brian's here, we'll be leaving far earlier than we'll feel like, but we want to get there early. i have ifirit's phone number and greg's as well.

can't wait to see ya'll there.

[Sinewav]

I'll see you all there!

[Tai_Zidek]

We will be heading out in a few, we will be park near the Kentucky Center, but should be over at the hotel sometime around 4. There will be 3 of us, I'll have that tan LoZ knock off looking shirt, jeans, light brown hair, glasses. I'll be with a tall blonde guy and a shorter brown haired girl, all of us are on a skinny side.

[Josh Whelchel]

I have some pictures from the meetup, I'm the guy who just kind of showed up (;

I had a great time meeting you guys, looking forward to the Indy show. (:

[Nekofrog]

Oh snap, an Indy show? When? We might have to go to that one, too.

Great stuff, guys. Special thanks to Paulo for driving for what had to be an excruciating number of hours (double digits), just to make sure everyone got there.

[big giant circles]

pictures/blog/etc to go up soon (probably tomorrow--i'm hitting the hay for now). i'm totally exhausted, but that was a FANTASTIC meetup. was great to meet all of you i hadn't met before!

[Tai_Zidek]

I had tons of fun, and next time I will be sure to bring my camera. It was great to meet you guys, sorry we couldn't stay and hang out with you all some more, but Jennifer had work later than morning. We deffinitly have to do this again.
