Practice your lecture? I need a Ride 8/25 and 9/2

Post by CatProximity » Sat Aug 03, 2013 6:15 pm

I didn't want to start a new thread, but I couldn't find a place that didn't already seem quite specific to someone else's needs.

I too need a ride from the airport, along with the ability to at least buy water in Reno (or wherever one does that) and possibly other things before getting to the dessert, as well as borrow a cart to get my stuff to from the Boston truck to Math camp. And a ride back to the airport.

I am arriving on August 25th at 8:20 PM.

I'm leaving Tuesday September 3, 7:00 PM but I would like a night to decompress, as I must be at work in Boston on the 4th.

If anyone wants to help me with any of these things, I can promise banter, bad puns, good will, an interest in listening to a practice lecture (on math, scotch, paleontology or just about anything), and a desire to learn a good way to keep and share chocolate on the playa.

Ride share is a good start you've probably done that already though:

I haven't done it myself but I hear the rideshare desk "Air Playa Info" at the Reno airport is a pretty good bet, as lots of burners will be coming through on that day.

His name is "Schroedinger" and as to how close... Welll... Thats one of those philosophical questions, really. :)

Cause dead cats can't run away, so they are closer?

It is also worth adding that all passengers in the vehicle will need to have their own early arrivals pass valid for entry on that date.

Crap, that should say 8:20 PM that I will be arriving in Reno, but now I can't edit the post. :-/

That all depends on where you want to get to.

Hey, another Bostonian eh? Welcome to the fun.

I would offer but I think I will be at the Playa already at that time. Good luck though!

Thanks.

I'm totally willing to wait until the morning, and just get a hotel room until then.
