Anyone in Eastern Time Zone?

Post by Icepack » Mon Mar 01, 2004 4:37 am

My dearly loved Ranger Friday managed to get up at 3am (about midnight Pacific time) to get the tickets for us. Looks like it took him just under an hour. Not sure if he was using IE or Modzilla. Guessing Modzilla. He did mention that it was EXTREMELY slow, but he hung in there. Also mentioned that the web pages for buying the tickets were poorly designed and not very informative. We got a confirmation, but the confirmation says "If there is a problem, we will get back to..." so I'm not sure if we got them at the price we wanted to, or if we are getting them at a higher price. He did say the total came to $350 with shipping for the 2 tickets, but that's not printed on the confirmation anywhere.

I tried from 3am until about 3:45am with no luck. Kept getting "Page cannot be Displayed". Gave up and went to bed. When I woke up 2 hours later, I tried again with great success! WooHoo!! Im coming home!

Step 1 - Complete

(I just hope the rest go as easy as #1!)

Guess I missed all of the ruckus- I logged in at 9:30, got right in , got my $165 ticket and got out. Five minutes. (I'll confess, I was worried that they'd be up to $185, but I would have paid the extra 20 bucks to avoid waiting for three hours like the poor Westies did......)

Yo Icepack! Not sure how I'm going yet. The last two years I flew out, once into Vegas, the other into San Fran. I'm probably gonna just drive out and fly back. I'm taking my boss out with me (small online business) and he's planning on taking a month long cross country trip and it's probably best we're both not gone that long. Anyway, we'll most likely take our time going out there, drive down to New Orleans for a bit, eventually driving to Southern California, travel up to San Fran, then over to Black Rock City. Feel free to send an email to a fellow east coast burner.

It's boring to go the same way each time, but we compared different routes and found out that I-80 has the highest speed limit and is the fastest way to go, plus Wyoming is pretty. I'd like to try I-70 at some point, and maybe visit people in Colorado, but I don't know if this will be the year for that or not.
