Carpool from Droplabs

I'm in!

If anyone wants to carpool from Droplabs, we can meet at around 4:30pm and head over. I have a 4 seater (we've done 5 but it was tight).

Which venue would you like to hit first, Stew?

Traditions At 5:00

Sounds like a plan.

Sounds like a plan. Exaltation of Larks is happy to sponsor the first round!

One thing to keep in mind,

Techivist's picture

One thing to keep in mind, that I found out tonight during my visit & meetings at USC, was that USC's Public Safety department now only allows USC students with valid I.D. onto campus after 9pm. If we're on campus already, I think we're fine, but it's something to keep in mind if folks plan on going "back & forth" from after-party venues.

I'll try my best to make it out to help QA after-party venues (hehe!) but I can't make any official commitments as of right now. Cheers!

Sounds great! Where do you recommend we park? Thanks.

I am curious, too. There's street parking everywhere but I'm not sure yet which end of campus is which.

Miguel, as our resident expert can you weigh in on this?

Street Parking

cchy's picture

Although for street parking, would the meters be enforced on a Saturday evening/night? If so, they most likely don't go up to four hours so that would be... a lot of running back to the meter! ;)

OMFG! Organic Groups just ate

OMFG! Organic Groups just ate my submission. Was just entering a /braindump & now nada. I didn't refresh, log out or lose internet connection.

Street parking surrounds campus but it's super hard to get. You might be able to park in the shopping center at Hoover/Jefferson area (it's a huge shopping ctr) & buy something at one the stores there & then head south through the middle of campus but I have zero idea how tough parking enforcement is (i'd imagine pretty tough considering parking structures are big biz).

That's all I got right now, I'm pretty pissed at losing so much info on parking & local bar scene at this late (early) hour. :(

Last time I attended an event on campus, I just used an on-campus parking structure. I don't remember if there was a charge; I assume there was.... fwiw

Is anyone waiting for a ride

There's 4-hour parking all around the campus and it's free after 8pm. I parked on the Jefferson Entrance side, and am walking over. I think this is the long way round...

Hey, there's the Annenberg School of Journalism! I know they use Drupal.

I hope y'all are having fun &

I hope y'all are having fun & I/we expect full documentation of your QA results! Please QA some on my behalf haha. Just needed some "me" time after a long, long week so left the QA Testing to y'all.

Yes, Christefano, Annenberg School of Journalism & Communications uses Drupal quite a bit & is a client of mine (& I'm working on having them be involved/participate). ;)

What were Tradition's and The

What were Tradition's and The Two Nine like? I was late and caught up with everyone at The Lab gastropub when only 6, umm... researchers... were left standing.

I liked The Lab a lot. It will make for a great after party location. So what's the plan? More research? :)
