Title: Vermont Bus Trip 4/20-4/22? - NO.
Post by: Spacey on February 04, 2006, 11:08:45 am: Is anyone interested in an organized trip to Burlington?

I have been talking to a few places that specialize in chartered buses and trips of sort. If I can get a reasonable price for the ride, hotel and tickets to the show, I will be more than willing to finalize this trip.

I would think that the bus would leave New Haven on 4/20 sometime in the afternoon, get to the hotel and then to the show. Will be returning to CT on 4/22.

This is prelimenary and I will keep you in the loop as I learn more about it. I just think we will need to get at least 40 heads to do it. I am sure it will be worth it and it will definitely make the band feel good and let the other fans know that this fanbase is SER.

Stay tuned!

Post by: YoMa on February 04, 2006, 11:26:35 am: that sounds cool. if its a good price i\'d really consider it.

im going to be spending a lot of time in burlington in april what with the biscuits playing three nights just a few days before these shows...nothing wrong with that. by the time the b-fast comes around i will have probably outstayed my welcome with the kids i know up there so i\'d definitaly be down with going in on a cheap hotel.

Post by: bdfreetuna on February 04, 2006, 11:36:20 am: I\'m definitely interested.

I might have a couple friends who would want to hit up the 4-20 run too. I wouldn\'t want to take seats away from .info\'ers, but if it\'s a matter of getting enough people to fill the bus I would definitely ask them.

Post by: jocelyn on February 04, 2006, 04:48:59 pm: I\'m down if the bus will stop and pick me up where 91 intersects 89. (I\'m assuming you guys would go 91 > 89)

Somehow I doubt that would work out... although it\'s right on the way... :P

I was thinking about an option like that. Maybe making a bustop somewhere in route to Vermont. Still gotta see what the bus advisor tells me on Monday when I call.

Title: Vermont Bus Trip 4/20-4/22? - NO.
Post by: Spacey on February 05, 2006, 03:31:57 pm: It would have to be a stop on the way to Burlington. Possibly somewhere in Western/Central Mass or the Mass/Vermont border.

Again, I will be calling tomorrow to get a better idea of the situation as a whole.
Title: Vermont Bus Trip 4/20-4/22? - NO.
Post by: jocelyn on February 05, 2006, 04:26:26 pm: ^^^ How about... say.... where 89 intersects 91. :D

Post by: bdfreetuna on February 06, 2006, 12:34:48 pm: That would be great if it stopped in western Mass or around the VT border,.. I\'m in Northampton. I got 1 other head tentatively signed up already, and I\'m sure I could grab a few more if it stopped in western mass.

i\'m on the fence about all this, but 4/21 is my 21st bday and this would be a wicked cool way to spend it....btw i\'m in amherst so a western mass stop would be great for me!

I am looking to make it a package deal. Bus, hotel and tickets to the show.

Post by: Overexjoesure on February 06, 2006, 05:03:35 pm: I really want to do this trip... I also really need an estimate so I can save up. Would there be anyway to pay just for the bus and tix?

One of the agents is suppose to get to me tomorrow with a price. I\'m sure that I can work something out for the bus and tickets. The tickets aren\'t that much either. I believe Club Metronome is free for 21+ and Nectar\'s is $3. So the real bulk of it all is the transportation.

Post by: Overexjoesure on February 06, 2006, 05:21:45 pm: I would just like a chance to get to know everyone better, and a bus ride sure sounds like a grand fucking time. Plus the VT/CT drive is hell.

Post by: jocelyn on February 06, 2006, 08:46:09 pm: aww it\'s not that bad... it\'s a straight shot at least. Better than my Rte 3>290>90>84>91>95 to get to the New Haven area... or alt route: 13>2>190>290>90>84>91>95....

But I suppose you probably are sick of the drive to VT having gone to school there...

or the 3>2>190>290>395>95 to pick my lazy ass up :wave:

i\'m definitely in if this is a go, depending on the non new haven area pick up/drop off points. otherwise I\'m just gonna pack my car full of RI/Southeast Mass peoples, and anyone else on the way who can fit. Can those of us who have to drive still get in on the hotel discount?

Post by: jason-a on February 07, 2006, 01:01:21 am: That is a great idea, I am all for the bus stopping at white river junction where 91/89 intersect. Seeing that I would have to drive right by there! Still it depends on how much money?

Post by: Spacey on February 14, 2006, 11:05:39 am: I am waiting for BusBank to get back to me. Who seem to have the most competitive deal going so far. Right now, mainly because the trip is overnight the price is rather high because you may have additional costs like driver\'s gratuity (10-15%), tolls, parking and driver\'s hotel accommodations.
