Superman's taking me on his back. He said there's room for one more who wants the spot?

So Melinda and I need a ride to EoL, can anyone please help us out? We can meet you guys wherever, but it'll be ideal if you guys can drop us off at any CTA line (Metra if it's early enough). I asked Ook, and he's down for it... but I think the tourney will end too late for us to get back via Metra :/. We'll pay for gas and all that jazz. Sorry for being a bother

The majority of drivers are actually in the suburbs because it is a lot more necessary to own/drive a car out there... Also I told Clow that I would give him a ride so he should just go with Kappy when I am picking him up... If I had spots I would offer them.

Um, possibly/probably. The latest amtrak train from union station heading south leaves at 8:00 pm on Saturday. If tourney runs fast and I make it to the train station by then, I won't need housing. If not, I would appreciate housing if possible.

On Saturday, I would arrive at union station at 9:00 AM. I would then be willing to metra/blueline/whatever to whoever would be willing to give me a ride.

Ok, if for some reason no one can give me a ride, would this plan work?

1. Arrive at Union Station at 9:00 AM.

2. Walk to Ogilvie Transportation Center to take the 10:35 AM Metra to Waukegan.

3. Arrive in Waukegan at 11:50

4. Someone from the venue comes and picks me up in Waukegan, (I believe it's about 3 miles from Gurnee.)

Arthur's car is full atm with Arty, Quik, Scythe, Sago and Kain

Quik isn't 100% sure if he's going and will figure that out tomorrow.

Rob I can drive you from a metra station, and I'll see if I can house you for the night.

And Akashi/Meneil, I dunno if you have to get back to your house that night, but if I'm housing Rob I could probably house you too and drop everyone off at the metra in the morning

Ook is the best! Should I hop on that train to Waukegan that arrives at 11:50, or would something else be more convenient for you?

Buying my ticket to leave for chicago now.

The ticket would have been $32 up there, and $43 coming back. Considering the gas it would take to drive 12 hours it actually wasn't a bad trip at all. It would have cost me $75 just to get Chicago if I went by myself. This was my first Saturday where I didn't have my son, and I didn't have to work in literally a year and 3 months. Oh well. I legitimately tried Chicago, haha.
