add JPOBS to the list
ya

and realize that the more people that go the cheaper i will be for everyone.

70 for a trip to maryland and back isnt that bad considering flights are easily over 300 bucks and it'll be jokes.

spread the word and get people interested, pound 4 is gonna be the biggest tourny ever

Sign me up. i ****ing gotta find a way to get the $100 for the passport though...dammit! But I'll do it, good thread idea. And I hope decoy decides to do the bus, lolol, makes it cheaper for everyone.

And I also wanna say, most of us should try to get to pound 4 to have at least one (more) experience in the USA, since I can see someone of us probably quitting in the next year.

Dude. Find a cheaper chartered bus. I'm serious. I know they're not cheap, but 3 grand is just ridiculous. It's a 9 hour drive. Despite border fees, it shouldn't be much more than a charter bus to say montreal which is the same distance. Keep shopping around.

100$ is way too much to ask, considering 30 people is REALLY pushing it.

i will keep looking, you guys have to realise that its a 5 day long trip, and the driver needs a hotel room for this time.

I will email more bus companies, but the general consensis is around 3500 dollars,

we need to rent a van

5 day trip...? Wtf.

Bro. It's a 9 hour straight drive. I've map quested it from my house. We're not going to ****ing California for Genesis, which would only be a 2 day trip. We're going to Maine/Delaware.

You're getting cheated hard. Especially if that bus has no washrooms or outlets. I'm honestly flabberghasted. It's a 9 hour drive. We'd be driving for like 2 hours and stopping each day. That makes no sense whatsoever.

Yeah, we need a better alternative, I mean, the bus thing didn't bother me too much, I mean if there is potentially like 30-40 of us, and Iliad the alcoholic (LOL, jokes sexy), there's bound to be tooo much conversation. But five days is too much with no washrooms...and no where to sleep unless we do a pile or some ****ing ****.

I'm not sure if this will help any of you, butttt, w/e I'm posting anyhow.

If any of you have a G liscense, just rent a van from Budget. My family did that last year to take 11 of us down to Florida. I can assure you that it will be cheaper than $3100, and it only took us 1 day, with 3 people driving.

I don't care really, as I have no intention of going to Pound.

I forgot to mention that there might be an age restriction(you might need a G liscense AND be a certain age, for the slow folks <3), but I'll ask my parents when I get home.
