robert Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 I have a question. If we're already up to 33 vbb&f people on the list. And then you consider family, and friends that might come with some of them, and other people not even on the list yet. Do we really have enough room in one cabin? How many people were there at the last vv? And yes I know some on the list may not be able to make it. I'm making a very early guess that we'll have somewhere around 50-75 people, perhaps more. People always drop out as it gets closer to the event, that is just the way it always goes. So, we may end up with 50 on the list who are nearly confirmed and get 30. I'm sure we'll be fine and if for some reason we get more than we can handle, we can find a 2nd place for the others in the nearby region. Hope to have a great turnout!

Lean and Green Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Guess who just booked their flight to VV08'?? Some of you know I have been trying to make this happen, well now it's official!!!! Was told to book on a wednesday night to get the cheapest rates so that's what I did. Arriving at Portland July 15th 11pm Departing from Portland July 29th 12pm Planned the time frame to coordinate with the almighty Potter! Hopefully he won't kick dust up in my face as I try to keep up with him on the daily rides. Can't wait to chill with everyone and dole out some great big hugs all around. GO VV08' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Awesome! We have about 40 members who live here in Portland, so we'll have places for you to stay the whole time. Totally looking forward to meeting you, training, and hanging out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 If you can rent in expensive enough bike...that'll motivate you enough Don't worry...we'll have fun...I'm not looking to punish anyone unless I'm entered into a race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andesuma Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I'll be around for the Portland days (or..would LIKE to be, I might be onthe east coast again this summer...) And I can drive out to Mt.Hood to go hiking or something with you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 It is highly likely that I will not come. That's too bad. I was looking forward to actually spending time with you this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 It is highly likely that I will not come. That's too bad. I was looking forward to actually spending time with you this year. I'd like to but with flights @ 500-550 plus other expenses, it's a little much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lean and Green Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Zack, i can't believe it's so expensive for you. My flight ran me 371 including the booking fees, i booked it last week and i'm flying out of air traffic central, ny. I was told that tuesday and wednesday nights between the hours of 12-2am are the best times to book. Try and get a price quote at those times just out of curiosity....

andesuma Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'd like to but with flights @ 500-550 plus other expenses, it's a little much. You could totally get to Portland for free or under $100 if you wanted...And do it with ease and comfort. Post on Craigslist, there are truckers(not trashy!), movers, people travelingwilling to give you a ride from all over the country!Seriously...I've traveled for FREE to several states like this, andhave met some AMAZING people, who I am now all friends with..traveling this way. I far prefer it to almost any other form of travel, except road tripping by myself, which I like the most. You just need to be creative I am getting more and more serious about "free travel experimentation" .. if you want me to hitchhike and comeand get you I will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 You promised me a sprint race. And who's going to climb trees with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 well like ande 'mango' suma said, you can try out free travel experimentation. You could start off with the 'Rideshare' link on craigslist. It may seem like a long shot but you don't know unless you try. People use it all the time to go all over from anywhere.

Lean and Green Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Man, I did not even realize that you already suggested craig's list. I think I just wanted an outlet to use your new name, Ande 'mango' suma again! Did I just say Ande 'mango' sume a second no wait that makes three times. Okay I need to stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andesuma Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Let me just say that... I AM SO EXCITED FOR VV08! As someone who has been to, or at least dropped in on, every year..I think this one will be the best/most successful... And I'm glad I am attempting to "stay put" within a general 5 state radius, so I'll have time to hang out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DV Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Actually, Andesuma, if I can't make it to the same event I'll just make one for you sometime this summer. Or at least half of one in case LL and Lotus are around. Although I think LL is really looking for a raw pecan pie one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Yummmmm! If you make it, i'll replace the word 'terracotta' with blueberry on that System of a Down song and start screaming it! DV i know you listen to SOAD but just in case, this is the song i'm referring to: Lyrics I made a blueberry pie out of the Naked Chocolate book called 'Violets Violent End' but I didn't love it, it was like whatever. But I love deserts! Edited April 28, 2008 by Lean and Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pamela Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Todd and I are very seriously considering coming for the Portland part of VV08. What are the chances of shacking up with a Portland member during that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
