I've always wanted to go to K-Fest. I may apply for one of their "golden tickets" this year, however that still involves getting one's self to Kansas City. Is anyone interested in getting together with a few people for a carpool? Obviously not in my tiny car :) but I'd be happy to split the driving and gas $$. Paying for a flight or the cost of all that gas by myself would be beyond my means right now. ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)3 educational non-profit evan@vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation
Not going, but KC airport is nice and flights are reasonable out of Newark. Stop in Weston MO for a real throwback. As a plus they have a winery, a brewery and a distillery. There's also a shop on Main St. with one of the best selections of Scotch and Irish Whisky I've seen. ________________________________ From: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic-bounces@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> on behalf of Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2017 1:20 AM To: vcf-midatlantic Cc: Evan Koblentz Subject: [vcf-midatlantic] K-Fest carpool?

Evan, I was reviewing an idea I had from last year actually where a few of us would rent a Club Van and commute together. We could do it in one day so no hotel needed along the way, which saves us all money. We take turns driving as well and gas costs. Should be about the same or less than flying or even taking our own car. Only downfall is the added time to pick up people along the way. A big van however means we can stretch and sleep as well along the way. I was going to get some local pricing and see if it's worth it. I know about 4 people who said they might be interested in the idea. And we have enough room to take big things to and from. Let me know if you're thinking about it. I'm going to start calling around soon for pricing. Thanks! Henry S.

Evan,

Should be about the same or less than flying or even taking our own car. Only downfall is the added time to pick up people along the way.

Definitely interested. The price of gas in my own car, combined with my car being tiny and not-so-reliable, making driving their myself implausible. So yes I am definitely interested in this.* * Of course anyone along for the trip would have to tolerate each other's music etc..... ** Not a dig at sharing rides with certain group members who shall remain nameless. *** Okay .... kind of a dig. :)
Everyone, I talked to Henry. He already has a list of four or five people interested in sharing a 10-15 seat club van. The more who go, the less it would cost per person. What say you all? Let's have a chapter(-ish) Kfest trip!
You're going to fit everybody in one of these? ;) http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2013-mini-clubvan-official-photos-and-info-... On Fri, Mar 3, 2017 at 12:03 PM, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
