I need a ride....

I am hoping to attend the drupal camp chicago conference on Saturday as one day schedule.
I can follow the driver's schedule as far as it is one day and I can pay for the gas.
please let me know anyone has one available seat from Urbana-Champaign.
thanks.

I could drive...

I'm looking to attend all day on Saturday the 12th. Could leave as super-early as necessary to make it there in time for first session, and could drive back as late as necessary, after the final laptop battery gives out.
;-)

We have two options regarding vehicles: a car that seats 3 others and would get good gas mileage (30mpg), or a van that seats 5 others comfortably (6 others if 3 squeeze together onto the back bench seat) and gets decent gas mileage (20mpg).

I'd prefer not to pay for gas...but could provide snacks and bottled water on the to/from.

sounds good.

fine with your schedule and I like it. ;-)

Are you from Urbana-Champaign too?

It seems like around 300miles from the U of I campus to Evanston, IL
(Definitely I can pay for the gas and it is still cheaper that Illini express..)

do you have any other person who has contacted you for the ride?

...still 2 seats open

I should have mentioned that I live in C-U, but would be happy to pick up anyone on the way.

kooje is in---anyone else?

I'm in for a ride

If there are enough people, I can also drive three passengers comfortably.

I'd like to get there for the first session, and I'd like to get back to CU no later than 9pm.

One seat still available in my car...

...yes that's right, one golden ticket remaining...if anyone is interested in a ride up to drupalcamp chicago!

As yowzer points out, we can always make more seats available. I could drive our van, if demand called for it, and/or yowzer could drive 3 more people up.

Another person said he could probably go along, and will let me know for sure in the next day or so. That would fill up my car with driver + 3 riders. If there are more who would like a ride, I can easily switch to driving our van, which would fit 2-3 additional people.

Just let me know!

One spot has opened up - 1 seat available

One potential rider has said he will be unable to go to drupalcamp, so that opens up one seat in my car.

kooje and yowzer are still in, and I'm lining up the details with them via email.

Anyone else can still join in...just let me know by Friday late. We'll be pulling out at 5:45am in order to make the 8:30 registration and 9:00 session.
