bradm Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 OK, here's evidence of desparation setting in: I will flat-out give my extra moe.down ticket to the person who can give me a ride from Ottawa, and I'll even split the gas charges. If this doesn't work, I don't know, I guess I'll have to give both tickets to someone who's going, and ask that they be sold at the gate.

Basher Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Can you rent a car? I know the "say" you can't bring them into the USA, but I have never had an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomFoolery Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Dude,I'd hitch-hike if nobody comes through.Lone-rider style is the only way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 This seems fuggin' nutty. You're offering up a free ticket to moe.down and you haven't had a taker yet? There's gotta be somebody with a spare seat somewhere close to you...Or you could always do the "super-trek" and sadle up a mountain bike and make a real trip out of it. I always think back to the guys from "Bittersweet Motel" who biked to The Great Went from Carolina. Now that was a trek and a half.Good luck Brad. I'm sure you'll be on your way!

Tooly Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 id look into a bus as close as i could get then find heads at the bus station and/or hitch hike the rest of the way no one going from ottawa has spare room for a ticket? unbelievable!!!

Freeker Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Bradley maybe this will FINALLY teach you to not start looking for rides/planning trips 1 week before the show. You've done this more times than I can count.That said, good luck in finding a ride, It wouldn't be moe.down without you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going home Donny Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hey BradM....aside from supercilious advice have ya figured anything out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I've got two possibilities, but neither is 100% (this is a case where 2 x 50% does not equal 100%). For one of them, the driver (who'd be coming from Montreal) has to check with a possible other passenger, and for the other, there are already three people in a small car, so I and my gear would get squooshed in behind the rather tall driver, if I/it can be fit in at all (and it isn't sure if I/it can be fit in; this would be the last-ditch, if-all-else-fails-it's-a-cramped-idea-but-it-just-might-work solution).I looked into the bus, and it didn't look back with a smile, as I'd have to leave Thursday night, and either end up in Syracuse at 2:30am, or, if I wanted to go on to Utica or Watertown, stay in Syracuse for hours, get to Utica/Watertown, then hope/hitch, which I'm not capable of handling right now.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 ...offer to rent a bigger car that everyone could fit in!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I'm going .down! .down, .down, .down, .down, .dowwwwnnnn!!!A ride found me: TangerineMan is heading .down from Montreal, and we've made redundant arrangements to hook up. It's just him and a buddy in the car, so room isn't an issue.Thank you for the kind thoughts (and mild rebuke, Freeker; yes, I wait until the last minute to scrounge for rides; it's a consistent character flaw that's seemingly at odds with my otherwise anal-retentive sense of logistics; unfortunately, no pharmaceutical company has a drug to treat it [yet]).Save me some space in Camp Canada!Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im going home Donny Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 HONK!HONK! Yah BradM!
