agile_one Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 OK, so, buying tickets. It's gone up like, 40$, but whatever. Quick question... someone can give me a ride, right? I think it's like, 30 minutes, but I'm just wanting to check. I'm coming in to PIE instead of TPA (saves 120$ or so). Well, screw it, I'll just buy and we'll see. **BRENT** Brent ... PIE would be approx $20 cab ride to the hotel - it's accross the bay. Will try to arrange pickup - all depends who is around with a car. I bought tickets a moment ago. Im flying in On jet blue Thursday, landing at ~7pm Flying out Sunday evening, take off 630PM I get into TPA at 6:02pm on Thursday. An up to snuff Five Guys sounds great. Ari, Ken, Grahame, and whomever else is coming in on Thurs - looks like I better get my butt up there on Thurs to keep a lid on things. I say 5-Guys to go and eat them @ CCB.

I am on the get cheap gear that scales up well mode. Love the old stuff, Miguel - lots of bang for the buck, and most is well made and cool looking to boot. Per your room booking readiness, you can go ahead and book a 1 br suite for $99 now, but if you want a 2 br for $129, wait till I give info for it. Should be final when I talk with them tomorrow.

NightWoundsTime Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Some of us may want to check out Square One Burgers. I've never been but it looks like it could be good. It's about 2 miles from the hotel/ccb. Forgot about that place completely. It had been on my list for a while but I never managed to check it out. Reviews were good from what I remember. At this point my favorite burger in town still resides at Ella's (Americana Folk Art Cafe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screaming oranges Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Ok, people, Im back from Nicaragua. As for this trip, I will be driving up and, as usual, can provide shuttle service at will. Not a problem at all. I will have to work that Friday though, but I'll see what can be done (no promises on friday morning, but I will be there for the weekend). I will book a room once I know if I will be there friday or not. Anyone can crash in, I don't care. I'll just take the BA if enough people want to listen to it... if anyone does, lemme know. It is PX-4/300B tube build. I have PX4 tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Welcome back, Alex, and glad you will make it. Shuttling will be appreciated by many, I'm sure, especially Brent of you make it there Fri. Yes, bring the BA by all means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaming oranges Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I will try my best to get Friday off. That's the first thing I'll do tomorrow when I get back to work. If someone in the dept. is already planned for vacation, I have to fill in. It's my job as Floater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screaming oranges Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 BA will be there. Also, Friday, two people from my dept are out, so it will even be a heavier day than usual. I will be there very late Friday night. I imagine most are arriving Friday at the airport, but if anyone needs a lift on Saturday morning, I'm at your service (needless to say, shuttling anyone/all back to airport for departure is not a burden. My pleasure). I will reserve a room later today when I get home from work, for Friday/Sat/Sunday, with checkout Sunday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWoundsTime Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I was going to point out that Ric, to my knowedge, hasn't made a serious travel team appearance yet. Then I remembered he did both legs of Vanjam. One way I'd only count as like 1/4 credit but the trip back makes a full point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I was hoping to goad Ric into attending as well, but re-entering Burning Van for the return trip should really count double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 One of the possible rental options is a 7 seater minivan (Ford Boring, Chevy Blah or similar). Does similar mean Burning Van ... Of Death? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agile_one Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Ok, so I said the final details for room reservations would be in place today. Just passing on what I was told, but not to be. In the old days, I could walk into a place, say I knew Vinnie from Queens, tell the person what I needed, and, poof, done. Not today ... we got Vinnie's kids in charge, and it's send me an email this, tweet me that, or post on my FaceBook wall ... wtf? Bottom line, Vinnie's cute daughter, Sarah, who is taking care of me (not that way, jeez, you're all pigs), was out sick today, so nothing sealed, signed, and delivered. I talked with Vinnie himself, and all is cool, but he says, let the kid do the deal. So, this is what we got: - Hotel is Tampa Airport Hotel: Hotel in Tampa Florida near International and Westshore Mall - $129 for two bedroom suite. - $94 for one bedroom or studio suite ($5 less then original - Vinnie felt bad the kid was sick today) They will have online and/or phone registration for Head Case starting tomorrow. As soon as I have details, they will be posted in this thread.. Folks, this is going to be an awesome meet. If you can find a way to come, do so, so you can say you were at TamJam'10. Your children and grandchildren will thank you when they learn you were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
