DJMirror, Signia, Stab, anyone, can I get a ride to LAX tomorrow? My flight leaves at 6:30 A.M. I'll give you gas money if you need it.

from the UCI area, a cab to the airport is about $10

maaaan SB what was your plan for getting to the airport from Irvine? LAX is such a ***** to drive to. I'm actually glad you want me to pick you up at 4:30 because the traffic later... THE TRAFFIC. But god damn what an inconvenience a taxi trip would be. So someone's gotta do it.

At least this could get me out of going to church tomorrow morning.

Edit: COME TO THINK OF IT I don't live particularly close to Irvine. LAX is an hour drive for me, and it takes me 20 minutes minimum to get to UCI. Is there seriously no one closer that can do this??

none of us have cars :[

If I did (and I were even down there now), I'd do it.

my original plan (in june) was that more than 2 people would have cars here...

yeah there's seriously no one else, if we can get to an ATM in the airport I can give you extra $ in return for it.
my flight leaves at 6:30, should we leave earlier due to the traffic?

You'll want to leave around 2 or 3. Security's really dumb at LAX.

you should probably specify whether you left at 6:30am or 6:30pm next time. Rob probably thought you meant you were leaving at 6:30pm which is why leaving at 2-3pm makes sense.

glad to see you're online and had a safe trip.

Oh. Well we ended up leaving from Fly's at 3:45 and he made it no problem. Went pretty smooth except for his part of the agreement. He couldn't find an ATM. I have set up a paypal account so he can pay me the rest of the agreed upon money. Parking cost me a little more than I thought it would ($5) and he was a little short on our agreement.

I gotta say I'm a bit salty about agreeing to such a small compensation ($25) for a 2 hour drive and another hour at the airport on less than day's notice. My fault for not asking for more, but he seemed a bit low on money, and I was right. But Adam you gotta pay the bare minimum. Net $15 doesn't even cover gas.

wtf, you needed to go to LAX that early?? god damn, kinda glad i wasn't here to have to make a decision on what i would do (aka reluctantly take you).

i don't get why signia waited at the airport for an hour though??? i just drop them off and say gl hf

also i'm sooooo sad i missed all the evo stream, got home in time to see the grand finals of street fighter. that last game was hype and made me really sad i missed all those games earlier
