if you run down 35, are you going till you hit 94 and then go to Chicago? if so, you can meet up with us before we head out. We both live right next to 35W and 494. here is a link to a holiday gas station thats close to the freeway. Wanna meet here?

what do you think flecs?

 

lol... i dunno... im new to this shiz... ill do w/e you think is best :D

 

Just to let you guys know!
Most of the tollway construction along 294 is complete.
Be careful with the state police. They drive a wide variety of unmarked cars.
Good luck on your journey!

 

thanks for the heads up!

 

here is the map for the directions we can take: link to map
this will not og through 294

if we go 94, then we'll go through 294. It doesn't matter which way we go, its about the same distance. We'll probably just pick one when we hit the exits.

*edit* link to Midlothain for the poeople crashing (no pun intended) there

 

i can pretty do much w/e... i got work off that whole weekend so im open... we will just plan it around when you get off work and all...

 

vuefly: do you plan on getting a hotel? friday night? I think we'll get there at like 1-2am

 

another option for friday nite is to sleep in the boxes in like a walmart parking lot or somthing... or even a hotel lot... whos gunna look there?

 

hey me and Jake are going and hopefully jake will have his box back in time. im not sure what we are doing for sleeping but hey thats alright. but i probably wont be able to leave MN till like 600 so maybe if we can work around that, that would be awesome.

 

Yah I plan on it. What's your idea?

 

lol... i think he wants to crash in your room vue :D

and hi katie! ill call jake tomorrow somtime... any time thats best to call? im glad you two will be able to come... are you planning on bringing both boxes if (crosses fingers) jakes car gets fixed?

 

pretty much anytime would be alright to call i mean he works durning the day but if he doesnt pick up he will just call you back later. and yeah we will be bringing both boxes hopefully if jakes is done in time. i think he said that the dealer said that it would be done monday but im not sure they said that it would be done like last tuesday and then they kept it for longer. so hopefully it will be done soon im scared he is going to take mine out for a joy ride one of these days.

 

Ok, for now, here is the plan:

~ Meet in Bloomington at the Holiday Gas Station on 84th and Lyndale . just off of 494 [ MAP ] at 6pm
~ Leave Gas Station at 6:30
* Route we are taking: [ MAP ]
~ take a break in WI to eat
~ get to chicago by 1:30am
~ get Hotel / drive another hour to Midlonthain [ MAP ]

If we get there late, I may just get a hotel cause I don't want to drive another hour to Midlonthain. Flecs, if your short on crash, you can cash in my room if I get a hotel...I'll get a two bed room

If anyone has conflicts, please post here so I can revise the Plan

*edit* what do you guys think about leaving sat moring? 4:00-5:00am? we'll beat traffic and get to Soldier Field around 1:00-2:30pm. This may not work as then we would be rushing to get there. Opinions?

 

i think we should just drive the xtra hour to Midlonthain bcuz they will all be meeting up somwhere in chicago at like a beach and jon (the founder of scikotics) and others will also be crashing at that house... so then we can all roll together wherever there going...

and katie... have you guys pre registerd for the show? somone on scikotics said they couldent anymore,,, jon is gong to look into it and see if they will still be able to register and i let him know about you 2 so i can tell you what he finds out ok!

 

That will be really pushing it and plus what if someone doesnt wake up in time? Hehe and I got longer ride to meet up with you guys. DAMN DULUTH PPL!! 6pm sounds better and safer for all!

 

ima hafta agree with vue here... lets stick to the good plan!

 

Ok, 6pm it is. So....who's leading the way

 

Do we have a list of ppl that are coming with us so we know who we should wait for? Someone should get numbers from all that are coming incase someone is running late or what ever!

 

i got jake and katies #... im actually about to call him so he knows whats goin on!

 

yeah me and jake already registered. um i think me and jake are getting a hotel close to the place where the thing is being held we are not all the way sure. so hey chanman if you have a place that you know you are getting a hotel please tell us and we can stay there too. dont worry we will have our own room. lol.
