I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

I'm still setting up my flight, but I'm looking to get in on the 3rd at some point. I also plan to leave the 7th. I'll find out specifics within the next week, so I'll post those soon. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew I was alive.

My Times:

Arriving in Salt Lake on the 3rd at Noon.

Leaving Salt Lake on the 7th at 8:00, so would like to get to the airport around 7:15.

You need to tell us where you're coming from and what flight.

Intruding N313 and F014

I'm wondering if there is someone in the Provo/Orem area who would be willing to pick up JMan and take him to Essentia's house on the late afternoon/evening on the 3rd. I can arrange to go to any place in the area. As for Sunday, while it would be nice, it isn't necessary since that will be at the beginning of the drive, and I won't be in a hurry.

I have a long drive to Utah with an hour detour to pick up JMan, which is fine, but to drop him off at Essentia's and then drive back to Orem would add an extra 2 hours, which would make my drive a bit too long. It is doable, but not recommended.
If there is nobody that is able, that is okay because JMan can stay the night at my sister's house, or I can rest for a bit when I get there and then take him to Essentia's.

I believe Opario and Raen are from the Provo/Orem area, but I don't think they're on the forums that much. You could try sending them a PM.

I used to live in that area, but I'm up in Layton now, actually Essentia, so I couldn't do it. Opario's not too far away, but I don't know for 100% sure what his plans are.

Also, I should mention, I may not show up 'til Thursday afternoon or Friday early in the morning, I'm not sure yet.

I'm in Layton now too, but I'll have plenty of time on Wednesday (all day, really) to help out with airport rides or even to pick up JMan if Opario is unavailable.

I just remembered that Dessyreqt is flying into Provo and will arrive in the evening of the same day I am traveling. Could whoever is picking Dessyreqt also pick up JMan? I can meet you at Provo Airport.

Quote from Dessyreqt:

(Arrival: Provo UT (PVU) - Aug 3, 9:14 PM - Frontier 1655)

I'll be picking up Dessyreqt, but I have no idea what Jman's situation is. I'd be happy to pick him up if he is in need of a ride and is coming in to Provo.

EDIT: Ok, so if Dunnius is bringing jman to the airport, would it be possible to line it up with Dessyreqt's arrival? I'll be there right about when his flight gets in, seeing as it is such a small airport.

EDIT 2: If I have to drive to bountiful at 9pm on Wednesday to drop off jman, that might be a long night, seeing as I live in Orem myself. I have work in the morning on Thursday, so I won't even be able to bring Dessy and Jman up unless we go REALLY early. Hmmm.

We would be there when Dessyreqt arrives at Provo airport. But if you are leaving from Orem, it could be easier for me to meet you there or you can meet me at my sister's house in Orem, before going to Provo. Whatever is easier for you.

I am curious about when you are going up to the marathon. I can't head up on Thursday, so if you are going, maybe you could take up jman and dessyreqt in the morning? I don't mind putting them up for the night.

I will be leaving in the mid-morning on Thursday to go up to the marathon, so yes I can pick them up. And that saves both of us about 2 hours each. (Traveling to SGDQ done quick) Smiley

On Wednesday, how should we arrange dropping off JMan? Do you want to pick him up, or should I drop him off? I should be getting to Orem around 4-5 PM.

Reaif

2011-08-02 03:12:29 pm

I get off school at 5 pm, so I should be able to get him then. If you want to drop him off near UVU (my house or on campus is fine), either option works for me.

Everything's better with Magitek

For those who are flying, Denton or someone else will be at the airport to pick people up at the following times:
9:20 (Aftermath)
11:00 (theseawolf, feasel, puwexil)
1:45 (spikevegeta, romscout)
2:50 (Kubelwagon, duckfist)
4:40 (Arrow)
9:20 PM (Nitrodon)

You should have received my phone number in a PM, in case you need to contact us. Give us a call when you arrive, so we can work out where to meet.

Kubelwagon

2011-08-02 06:58:42 pm

Welp, I leave for the airport in about 12 hours and I just remembered how terrified I was of flying. If I don't make it, someone else run my games for me. Cry

By the way, whoever's picking me up, I'll be the tall, lanky dude with the burgundy duffel bag and the 'Property of NYC' t-shirt.

I just got a call from feasel. His flight got delayed; now he'll be on flight 4439 arriving at 4:10, so we'll be picking him up at the same time as Arrow.

I'm gearing up for the airport. Delta flight 853 is scheduled at to arrive at SLC at 2:28pm Terminal 2 Gate C3. I'm checking in one bag.

I'm uh, the 6' white guy in a grey striped shirt and brown shorts. I saved the cell numbers of Essentia, Kubelwagon (since you're about the same time), and Darkwing Duck, so if I get lost I'm calling all of the above! Whoever the kind person is picking me up, feel free to give me a text or call around arrival time.

Now a hit show on the CW

I'll be leaving from the airport in a couple hours - I'll give a call as soon as I land in Salt Lake.

Nitrodon

2011-08-03 02:33:16 pm

Currently at the airport, waiting for Delta flight 2697 to Memphis. (It was cheaper than a direct flight.)

Just to spite me, there is a direct flight to SLC a couple gates down from here.

Darkwing Duck stealing Essentia's computer. Feasel has been delayed. Now coming in around 7:15 from KC.

Raen

I guess I'll use this thread just to note when I'll be arriving.

I'm busy Thursday, so I'll likely get there at 7:00-ish am on Friday. I believe Opario plans on arriving sometime early Friday as well.

A quick update on my status.

Because my car is still broken, I will be driving to the marathon with my dad when he goes to work tomorrow. I will be leaving early Thursday morning at about 5:30AM and will arrive at Essentia's place at about 6-6:30AM. I apologize in advance if this causes troubles with setup, or if it means that somebody will have to be awake early to let me in.

One of the disadvantages of living in Heber is that while it about halfway between Orem and Bountiful, it just happens to be on the other side of the mountains -_-

Tranquilite, just call my cell phone when you're almost here so that we can let you in.

Raen

Quick questions: should I just walk in when I get there in the morning? I figure knocking/ringing the doorbell wouldn't be good while the stream is going.
