Mini Get Together at Collora Studios in July

[Hector]

I just wanted to give you folks a heads-up...

I will be crashing this meet. I will appear outside the studio at roughly sunset, and I'll be in costume; watch for the guy built like Andre the Giant dressed as a Sleestak. I will remove the mask and enjoy 6-8 bottles of beer and several Camel smokes before crossing the highway and returning to the ocean. Photos are encouraged. Please do not shoot any firearms at me.



OK, back to sorting...

You really going?

[Hector]

Now I'm looking at rental cars...

Damn...my hair is turning Sandy white right now...

[megoapesnut]

Ok...I found out that my round trip two seats with refundable option totals $700...I really don't like that number....especially for a meager one hour flight.

Really? Wow. I checked out flights from here in PA and Southwest was only around $400 - $500 round trip. And then the idiots are charging $700 from Oakland? Figure that one out

For two seats?

[megoapesnut]

For two seats?

Oh no, just for one. Missed that your price was for two.

[HardyGirl]

Sharry...did you get that?

Lax is an hour away from Sandy.

Are you flying to LAX, OC...or LB?

I'm flying into Orange County. I got this, Hector, trust me. I used to live in So.Cal.

Depending on how flight arrival times work with the actual timing of the Mini Meet, maybe some airport pickups could be arranged by fellow members.

[Hector]

$700 just to fly there is too much...I'm trying to look at other options.

[HardyGirl]

I don't know how much you fly, Hector, but if you plan on going anywhere else this year, and you don't come to So Cal, you can use your ticket purchase for a future purchase, and then you won't need the refund option, so it'll save you some cash.

I'll be taking the shuttle from John Wayne to the hotel. Hey Sandy, does OCTD (bus) run on Beach Blvd, or close to your studio? I still need to check hotels, I'm just checking my options.

you flying first class or something? it should only run $200-250 round trip at the most. you can probably get it cheaper since you're booking few months in advance!

Again...TWO seats...my friend...TWO seats...

[Hector]

Starsky...you going?

Wanna go?

Wanna share a rental car?

Hertz has the Prius Hybrid on their fleet...it gets 48 mpg.

I need a co-driver...I can't handle driving all the way to LA by myself...my legs won't allow it...

Hector,
Why not Drive down and show off the 'Stang.

Last time I flew was just before I got sick (pre-2004)...so I'm a bit outta the loop on this flying business.

Do you have any idea what kinda gas-guzzler my Mustang is?

It will cost more than the double airfare...probably $1000 worth of gas...
