5. I LIKE LISTS!

yao. Soup is driving to me, and I might ride with him. I might not ride with him if there are more Portland area people that want to get down on a rideshare.

Holla.

I'm willing to drive within a 15 min radius to pick you up, or could pick up someone in Salem or another city on the way.

im thinking of going.. can anyone give me a ride there? i'm in san jose.
i'll also share a room with someone or a group if someone wants to.

SFO isnt the closest airport. the closest airport is Sacramento International. SFO is nearly a two hour drive from folsom

Yeah, rick told me it saves him 200$ from ny to sfo. There is also oakland ariport for an third option if anyone wants to try it

Oakland and Sacramento both gave me tickets around $400 range and San Francisco is like $220 lol

If anyone does decide to use the Sacramento Airport I can pick at least 2 people up since I live in the area.

If need be we can finish the buy in tournament after the actual TF2 tournament since it might take too long to fit into Friday night. There's also a prize drawing/pizza on Saturday after the first tournament.

Probably going once I figure out who's going to give me a ride.

We basically got jewed out of our tf2 people only section because the admins reserved it without notifying anyone else. So we have to pick a new section to sit now.

Yep looks like a huge chunk of players got taken off. At least we'll actually dodge the admins now. The G22-K30 section looks fine, or maybe the I-L section all together would be easier since it's untouched (unless it's for a good reason).

Yea but we have to be now that 12 people have been kicked out of their seats.

since you cant change seats anymore without submitting a ticket, its probably better to just have the 4 or so people that got kicked out to find a new seat. Weeble submitted a ticket like 4 days ago and they still havent fixed his seat. Just try to sit as close to other people as you can. better to have 4 people just find new seats than 20 people submit tickets

Lets just extend out horizontally instead of vertically like we were originally planning on doing.

#21 is that a troll?

i want to be exclusively interviewed by visitor

i want to sit away from visitor

VISITOR AND PT IN ONE LAN? we are fucked

hey sorry to do this but I am no longer able to drive up. I'll be flying in to either SFO or SMF. does anyone have any recommendations for that? i'm looking at southwest and it seems to be 100 bucks from SNA to either airport.

also sash if i fly into SMF could i please get a ride from you?

Yeah I don't want a weaboo sitting next to me anyways, thanks for the heads up

oov/harbleu/kalkin

enigma what have you done

I took seat a21 next to weeble, only to find out that its across the aisle and weeble wanted to move his seat. I submitted ticket to be at d25 and weeble moved to d24 hopefully these tickets work

now i'm doing d25 to 26 rick!!!!

these admins and tickets are slow as shit

Did they fix your first seating?
