Cargo / passenger van

topic posted Tue, April 22, 2008 - 7:33 PM by 
As there are a number of people coming into the SF, Oakland and San Jose areas and there will be a lot of gear, I'm thinking of renting a cargo / passenger van to make a trip beginning @ SFO, then SF, Oakland and finally San Jose and then up to the gathering. The time and schedule would depend on who needs a ride and when. If my plan works out, to make for as much room as possible, I'll be heading up to Cutters Wednesday to drop off a load of gear and then back to the Vulcan for the nite.

So, does anyone know of anyone who has a large van with lots of seats and room for people and supplies we could hire?

    May I go ahead and volunteer to be the first to assist in funding said cargo van, as I am still without a means of getting from San Fran to FD and Back. I don't have a place to stay in SF yet either, but that's a different bridge I'll cross when I have to.

      I'd be very happy to contribute as well since I'm not exactly sure of my travel plans from the Vulcan to FD and this seems like an amazingly idea.

        Baz and I will be flying into San Jose thursday morning at 11:20 and we could contribute to a van or truck, should one be available. I also know that Blue Haired Sarah is also flying in to San Jose at about the same time and will be needing a ride to the site.

          Ya I'm flying into SFO around 11 pm on Wednesday. I'm gonna be crashing at the Vulcan, and would be very interested in any sort of ride that could happen, either from SFO to the Vulcan or from the Vulcan to Firedrums. And then back. So I guess if you guys get a van thing together, I'd be interested in helping out. I don't really have a ton of money after paying for my flight, but I can definitely pay my share. Thanks!

            BArt to the vulcan is much easier than a drive and then we can pick you up from the bart station....but you would need to be on bart before 12am...

              well as long as my plane isn't late, that should work fine. It's supposed to come in at 11:09. You said it's actually accessible from the airport, right?

      I too need some sort of ride from the vulcan to FD I'd be happy to pitch in on a van or what have you. perhaps someone could make a post on how to get from the SFO and oakland airports to the vulcan by bart since it seems that is many people's destination?

      Ok yall, I need some specifics; arrival place, date and time info to arrange transport.
      I'm coming into San Jose Wednesday around 2pm and will get a mini van that should handle it.

        And we're meeting up at the Vulcan Wednesday nite.

        A few of us will be staying at a near by motel in Oakland

        I'll be heading up early Thursday morning to get things set.
        So I'll load up as much of everyone's gear as I can at the Vulcan and make room for as many as possible to leave with the caravan heading out mid day.

        If needed, I'm gonna hire a production assistant I know from East Bay to make pick ups for those coming in later.
        So I need to know specifics, , and please include a contact number or some way to get in touch.
        Reply to me personally with your info to;
        sky@firedrums.org

        But also know I'm flying out to Baton Rouge tomorrow (Sunday afternoon) and will be off email for the afternoon.

    I'm definitely interested in the ride share from either SF or SJ and pitching in some mula for it. I can hop a flight from Orange County in So Cal on Thrusday evening around 9pm with an arrival time at 10:15pm. I haven't bought my plane ticket yet to allow for more flexibility with your plan, Sky. I can fly into either airport.

    Also, I'll need a ride to the aiport on Sunday too. I can depart from SF or SJ at any time that is most feasible for the majority of travelers.

    Any suggestions all? I'd like to purchase my plane tiks on Tuesday, tomorrow.

    Peace,
