donno y fly amanita closed our thread? kid cant read? cuz we askin for airport to ramada, not cool admin. neway adam brown and michael li need a ride from sfo airport to ramada. we gonna pull up at entrance 830-9 am if nobody can do it then somebody plz tell me how much it costs to taxi from there. if its over 150 then we won't take the taxi and need somebody to please teach us how to get to bart or pits w/e.

you wont need a ride from the airport. there is a bart station directly underneath the airport, which takes you within 5 minutes of the venue. you can request a pick up from the bart station to the venue, but i doubt anyone is going to pick you up from sfo


@browny good **** =)

dan you just got *****

I'm trying to find a ride for me and Taj to/from the BART station and the SFO airport.

Our flight arrives Thursday, July 14th at 12:22pm, so hopefully we'll be at the closest BART station to the hotel by 2:00pm I'm guessing?

Our flight departs Monday, July 18th at 8:10pm. So we would like to be at the BART station maybe 3 hours earlier than that or so.

Can you guys help pleeeeeeeeease?

I doubt I can find a ride since I'm arriving rather early but it doesn't hurt to try:

My flight arrives Tuesday, July 12th at 13:16, so I assume I'll be at the PITTSBURG / BAY POINT Bart Station around 15:15

My flight departs Tuesday, July 19th at 15:00. So I would like to be at the BART station maybe 3 hours earlier than that or so.

Please? :)

(Thanks for the post AXE, love your pika :p)

My flight info is pretty much the exact same as this, we might have the same flight somehow. I'll be at BART around 3:30pm. I also need a place to stay Tuesday (and/or Wednesday although I can stay with the twins if it's convenient.) And the monday/tuesday after, since I assume not many people are staying after. I'll pay however much gas you want and my # is 715.214.8677 , I'd feel better if that was in the op or whatever just so I'm easy to contact.

Hey I'm going to have one more person named Max with me when I arrive. He wanted someone to escort him I guess, he arrives at the same time as me.

Silly Jeff.

Actually, to be accurate, Arizona is coming around the same time Axe is. We all scheduled our flights around 12:25 am on arrival. I think 8 of us total will need to get to the hotel. Should arrive in Pittsburg at 2:45-3:00pm Thursday If we could get a pick up, that would be great. Thanks.

Basically we are AZ crew and we are coming with Jeff.

Can anyone drive me to the BART after Genesis on Sunday? I have a super early flight on Monday and I'd rather get there around midnight, than ask someone to drive me at like Monday @ 4 AM.

Just letting you know in case you didn't look it up yourself, those, in fact, are pretty much your only two options. Last train leaves PBP station at 11:59 pm, and the earliest train leaves at like 4 am.

I DID look it up which is why I wanted someone to drive me to the BART station before 1 AM since the last one runs @ 1:59, and doesn't start running again until 5 AM, and my flight is at 6:00 sharp. I'd rather spend the night at SFO than ask someone to drive me to SFO at 4 am.

I'm gonna ask Stealth Raptor if we(me/roller) could ride with him, because we are rooming together anyways and we were probably gonna wait for him at the airport because his flight is the last to arrive.

And yes, his time is PM.

Ok, all the new information from the last few days has been updated in the OP and logged. If you are listed for pickup on Thursday / Friday, you are confirmed, as we will have drivers throughout the day available to help pick all you guys up (though your AZ caravan of 8 might take a couple trips lol), and I'll probably just end up picking up you friday-morning smashers myself.

Because this thread was originally intended to just be Bart->Ramada shuttles on thursday, we didn't have any additional volunteer drivers, so either myself or Sidefx will need to snag you guys on Wednesday.

**Still waiting on your flight info for wednesday too, omgwtftoph**

Tuesday is going to be the tricky one though; as I said this was originally supposed to be just a Thursday thing, and as such we don't have any volunteer drivers and Germ + Myself will both be at work throughout the day. Unless you can strike a deal with an Antioch smasher or Sidefx, you guys might just want to use one of the taxi services available at the Bart station. =/

Hmm...guess I should post in here. My flight gets in at about 530 on Thursday, and it will be just me. The rest of TX will be getting in later that night, dunno how covered they are with rides.

Edit: looking at the front page, I get in a little before Hylian. Jordan, mind if I lump in with you and rauleen for a ride?

Myself, Gnes, Trela, and Zori will need rides on Thursday to the venue. Our flight arrives at 9 pm so I assume we will be getting there around 10:15-10:30 pm

We'll pay gas money if needed so please help and thanks :).

I can do the two getting in on Tuesday no problem and weds I'll prob cover as well. My number for Tuesday and weds folks is 925-354-3223, give me a ring when you guys hit the walnut creek station(please don't get off the train just call me when you reach that stop).

Also for those of you traveling back to Oakland airport and SFO on Monday, please account for an hour for Oakland and an hour and a half Bart ride for SFO. This is a minimum and assumes you catch a train right away.

And of course an hour for airport security(I recommend 2) is a must.

Edit: I will try to give rides to Bart Monday/Tuesday after genesis but I don't guarantee it as I hate mornings and any kind of traffic(commute especially).

Sweet.

Walnut Creek Station? Is that the same as PITTSBURG / BAY POINT?

Also, since I'm bringing an international phone calls are going to cost me a ton of money...
Yoshq, any way I can find you there without calling you? :p

Walnut Creek is 5 or so stops away from Pittsburg, and it's just so I can have a better sense of how much time I have till your at the Pittsburg station. If you can manage to meet up with Yosh, perhaps he'll have a phone and you guys can contact me that way.

If not just look for the BIG RED SUV.

Can't help noticing the conspicuous absence of DoH and myself. I know we're technically Friday, but it's not even an hour after midnight, is there anyone who can help us out?

That's awesome to hear Zoap. Thanks a ton man. =)

That was my mistake, I'm not sure how I missed updating the Friday-morning pickups in the OP. As you can see by my post you quoted, I still mentioned you friday-morning travelers and how it'll probably be myself or someone else in DBR who picks you up, but either way we've got you covered. I updated the OP again to reflect your arrival estimates.

Doesn't that mean you'll have to travel much farther to pick us up? Or is that station in your general route anyway?

Yosh, do you have MSN/Skype/Something? PM me and we'll sort it out, hurry, my fly is departing this Monday.

I said in parentheses don't get off the train, it just so I know your roughly 20 mins out. Your still meeting me at Pittsburg bart, I just wanted to know when you reach the Walnut Creek station so I can leave my house and be at Pittsburg bart to get you two.

alright, as long as you can meet up I know he listed a number, so I'm guessing he has a cell he can use to call me.

I really need to know if anyone is willing to drive me to the BART Sunday after Genesis, either after the venue closes, or to the SFO after Denny's.

I guess I'm a little late with this but I also need a ride from the BART station to the hotel.

My flight arrives at Oakland on Thursday, July 14th at 3:28 pm, I plan to be at the BART station at Pittsburg/Bay Point at about 5:30 - 6:30 pm

My flight departs Monday, July 18th at 2:55 pm

Would anyone be able to help me out?

Thanks,

People should post their departure flight info as well if they leave Monday

So they know who they can group with to get cabs and whatnot back to BART
