Wait, you're a woman?

Won't the world implode if there's 3 females at a 2p2 meetup? Wait, there will be 4 including Mat's girlfriend.

WOW

Just look for a gathering that looks like your high school chess club, but a few years later.

UPDATE: sadly the Yugo himself will be out of town this weekend. So I guess we'll have to keep not knowing how to jedi-mind-trick emotionally scarred babes into going home with us for a while longer. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

eff me...

I was screwing around on Priceline for a room and somehow, I clicked on Beverly Hills when looking for a room. Of course, my bid got accepted for Beverly Hills. Freakin 20 minutes away from the bar. I bet that's going to be a nice little cab bill, AND I got to pay daily for parking.

I suck.

Iggy,

LOL, at least you're coming up. Our numbers are looking good. I'm planning to leave Phoenix no later that 1PM, which per LFS' advice gives me some cushion if the traffic sucks (it will) and maybe even to check into my hotel. But he said he's gonna be not fashionably late, so I'd like to join him as close to on time as possible. We have each others' cell phone numbers. PM one of us for ours.

Also, I may be able to pick you up and save you cab fare. Not sure yet whether I could drop you off though. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Tuq, I thought it was an 8 hour drive to Phoenix. If you're coming in at rush hour on a Friday add at least an hour. Yes it's into town, but lots of people come into town on the weekends. And traffic goes every which way.

suzzler,

Those of us from Phoenix are well-versed on the drive to CA cities. It's roughly 3 1/2 hours to Palm Springs, I do that drive every June regardless and am familiar with it.

After discussing with LFS, he recommends roughly 3 to 3 1/2 more hours from there, in accordance with sucky LA traffic. That seems about right given my experience. I plan to be on time but we'll see.

It's worth noting that easily 2/3 of the distance will be covered by the time I get to Palm Springs so lots of allowance has been taken.

[suzzer99]

I'd give it an extra hour. You can easily hit a stretch coming in to LA where you go 10 miles in an hour.
