The cheap Midwest Express flight has lapsed. The cheapest way to get to Milwaukee now (and this is what Mike Gaughan, my girlfriend, Keith and I will be doing) is to fly to O'Hare and rent a car. It's $80 for the flight, and $20/day for the car rental. No bus, sorry.
I'm thinking of going, unfortunately my only option is to carpool with someone and it doesn't sound like there is that much interest in driving up.
Please, guy and gals, carpool up. If my business doesn't need it for the weekend (I run a Lawrence-KCI shuttle), I'd let someone take the van if it means 5 or 6 people get up there that wouldn't otherwise.
I'm working out details right now. My trip to CO may have fallen through. If so I'll be at the Wiz game 8/18, move my crap to Rolla some time that week and be able to make the trip for the game. Gotta high tail back though, cause I start school on 8/26 and after I get to KC I still got 3 more hours to school.
Ben, we might have to drive straight on back to make sure we have plenty of time for school. 3 people in a car, one in the back seat sleeping, 1 driver, 1 navigator/keep driver awake. It can be done.
Willing driver. I know that I don't know anyone from the boards much more than you know me, but I'm looking for some carpool mates. I'm cool with driving up and driving back, or driving, staying and celebrating our victory, and then driving back. I just need to know what we're doing. If you're interested, call me or e-mail me (316-393-5227 or jroushkolb@cox.net) and let me know so we can work out the details. Thanks, and GO WIZARDS!
heres the deal. sams van isnt available. so we either a) get in groups of four and take our cars or b) rent one of those long vans. I personally like the car idea. I think I've got four togher already. Me, Matt (ojsgillt), Kevin (KCSalty) and Derek (Lucid). Can you three varify that you are for sure gonna go? If so, then another group needs to hook up, get a car and follow us up.
Come early, stay a night in Madison (home of the University of WI) and then head to Brew Town on Saturday (1.5 hour drive). Madison will be crazy on that Friday night, Badgers football home opener. Hell, I might even buy you guys a pitcher or two if we managed to hook up. Either way, see you in Brew Town on the 24th.
I haven't bought tickets yet. I'll call the Rampage tomorrow and work out where we're going to sit...I'll try to get them to set something aside.
As of now if there's a ride for me (w/ Ben) I'm in, but still wondering what the cost estimates will be.
ok, I think that Ben's car gets somewhere above 300 miles to the tank, so that is 4 tanks round trip. At about Lets say it is $30 ( I am estimating high) a tank. Since there will be for of us we each pay for one tank. I think it is about $10 a ticket so that brings the total up to $40 + food/beer. 24 pack (6 a peice) Bud light is $13.49 call it 14.75 with tax/4= $3.69. We can cook out there, I will bring Burgers, Someone bring Brawts, somebody else bring chips, someone else bring charcoal, I have the grill, say that cost every body approximately another $4.00. Two twelve packs of Soda for the car ride and that is another $1.50 bucks a peice. Bring whatever food you want for yourself in the car. I think I am estimating high when I say you can make it on this trip for $49.19 and whatever food you bring in the car. That price includes, Burgers, Brawts, Chips, Gas, Tickets, 6 bud lights and Soda for the car.
wow matt, why PolySci and not mathematics??? Kevin: Let me know either this week or at the game Saturday if you're riding with us. If not, I'll offer the spot to Chad.
