I’ll just post up here about it.
Guys, there are some complications on my end, but it essentially boils down to this.
I have two open spots in my car, and two non-confirmed spots.
Spots in my car go to people who are going to be able to help out on gas, hotel, and shared eateries (bag of chips, bring soda along, whatever). If you don’t have at least $100, then there’s no room for you in my car. OF course, I don’t think that should be a problem for anyone. I’m mostly speaking in regards to the two “unconfirmed spots” in my car. One person MIGHT be able to scrounge up what he deems to be “enough money”, and another is so flakey on what he’s got planned that he probably won’t end up going. In the end, I’d have to convince him.
So I have four open spots in my car for people who KNOW they are coming, and have their own funding. Great! Now that it’s all cleared up, here’s my propositions.
You all guys ride with me to Chicago. I can come down the night before the big trip, or the day before, and hang out and pick everyone up. After that, we’ll all head back to my place for some ZzZ’s. The next morning, road trip. The trip back will be me driving either all the way back to Columbia that day, or we stop at my place again and get some sleep. Either way is fine with me, except I’d really like to get a place to stay in Columbia so I don’t have to drive back the same day. 9 hours of driving in one day isn’t my cup of tea.
Lastly, if this plan sounds good to everyone, then I would at least like to be fully compensated for picking you guys up, and dropping you off. It’s an extra 200 miles on my car, and I don’t mind driving it, but that’s at least $20 in gas for me. A tiny hookup would be nice there.
Finally, I hope we can all do this rightfully so. I’m tired of babysitting people who “might” go, and who “might” have enough money (talking about STL people), and of people who complain about every little thing as if it’s my fault. So, I think a trip with you guys would be really enjoyable, as none of you are like that.
Everyone involved post back up and lemme know. Pacman, Shekeib, 722, and Akuma_WORST.
