Carpool to Chicago Pipe Show

[lonestar]

I'm panning to attend Chicago this year, one way or another. I'm sure a lot of you guys will fly in, but a lot of us will end up driving too. The thought crossed my mind to ask other DFW members if they want to carpool there and split gas money.

But I figure I'll throw the idea out there, and leave it open for anyone to post here if they want to give it a shot.

If I lived in Teaxas, or somewhere on the way to Chicago from Texas, I'd say sure. But I live in Michigan. Unfortunatly, the show is the day before I go back to college, so I cant go.

I was thinking of this as a way for anybody anywhere to post. I'm in Dallas, but if theres someone in Michigan that wants to carpool, they're welcome to post that here.

Want to stop by GA and pick me up? We can even take my Durango.

 

[lonestar]

Yeah sure. You mean Georgia Texas right ? Just up north of Honey Grove ? :nana:

lonestar I hope you got a bus. And collect gas money because I know a bunch of people on here want to go...by the way can you write a note for my work before we leave I used up all my sick time? :rofl:

lol, Shaun and I did something very similar a few years back. 8 people + luggage in a 15 passenger van - with people from TX, AL, AR, and some other states I don't remember. We were heading to a writing.com convention in PA. It was a fun and wild trip. :D

It was a fun and wild trip

Yeah I had that in mind, would be a lot more fun to ride up with some others. It sure would be cheaper too :D

Man... that trip was legendary. We got stuck behind a tractor trailer wreck on some hick road out in rural PA and sat for hours in one spot. I made $103 in a bet to flash truckers.
Now, fitting all that luggage in there was the hard part. We had to take out a row of seats and creatively piece together a wall of suitcases and because there was a formal masquerade ball, us ladies also had dress bags. Mine was feathered...

I think with the van rental and gas, we each pitched in about $75.

I dont know, just found a roundtrip flight for $150 ! Might not be a carpool in my future....

Sounds like fun, but I live about 10 miles south of the show. I will take a vacation day on Friday to attend.
