Hey!
So I and a few other boardies I know are in need of rides to this thing on Saturday. Since it would be both friendly and environmentally friendly to carpool, I though I'd start a carpool thread.
If you can offer a ride, post where you are leaving from and/or where you can pick up folks (like say the Beltsville Metro stop, which is the closest to MPP from what I've heard) and what time you're heading out.
If you need a ride, post comparable information.
Hopefully this will help a few people here out.
As for me, I'm in NW, but I can get anywhere Metro goes. I'd prefer to leave in the afternoon, but I'm flexible.

Thanks for being so helpful Sawyer ;)
Some of us are trying to reduce our carbon footprint.
Last year, FreeFest supposedly had special parking privileges for people who carpooled. What happened to that this year?

It's the Greenbelt stop, on the Green Line. Be green. Wear green.

reducing carbon footprint . . . or being a cheap bastard who's going to realize real quick that going to concerts with others, especially strangers will be a unorganized mess. are you gonna hang out together all day to share beers, to reduce "your mouth prints" on cups?

Stuck at work until 3 but would love to go up for Pavement and whatever else is happening in the afternoon. In NW near Gallery Place but can also go where Metro goes.
P.S. Rhett, your douche schtick got old about five years ago.
P.P.S. Walkie, a few of us looking already know each other.

There are going to be some road closures in the area too, and they are policing the mall parking lot to try to keep people out from there.
Me I am thinking of biking over.
-
What kind of bike will Sir Richard be pedalling in on?
Or will he be getting a carpool ride in Seth's Prius?
Here, I'll put a little smiley face so mr. crybaby doesn't call me names. ;D

I'd offer but I have no idea when I'm heading over (or where from).

It is one of the only cool things about living in the burbs...
that and the art center.
sorry, no party at my house. maybe next year.

great, just great

The ironic thing is they you probably actually have a car.
Maybe you could go pick up Monkeypants.

can i park there at least?
-
Getting this thread back on target.. Once the schedule is out I'd be willing to discuss carpooling from the greenbelt area...

they said that last year, but then , day of, we were actually directed to park in the mall and i didnt get there until 2pm or so.
-
I think that will be the case.
-
So back to MonkeyPants's original post...
I'm willing to join a carpool or even swing by the Greenbelt Metro and pick some people up.... Seeing as Jimmy Eat World, the number one act on my list to see is on at 1:15, tentatively I'm think leaving the Greenbelt area between 11 and 11:30. PM if anyone wants to discuss further...
-
Thanks Kosmo! You are awesome. I think Firebutt McGee and I might just take you up on that!
-
Wish I could do the same.
-
Kosmo, I'd leave earlier than that. I think getting into the venue is going to take some time. If you're early, you can always go to Union Jacks or the mall for a beer :)
-

Sorry I won't be able to go and help w/ the car pool and when you need it. I can't make it due to car issues and if I were going, the acts I'd like to see begin early in the day. Is there a way you can get to the Greenbelt metro when you get off work? Then perhaps someone at the show can pick you up? Or, cab over to MPP?
-
Yeah, I can definitely get over to Greenbelt. Cabbing it even from there would be absurd, though.
-
i might have space to take 1 or 2 people, depending how many of my friends need a ride. i would be leaving from rockville metro, departing before 11 (wanna see the temper trap) and returning after lcdss. PM if interested.

it would be about $60. split among 3 or 4 people, that isn't too painful.
-
azaghal could use sweetcell's help going back...and he can be picked up at rockville metro...
-
sorry didn't realize how far the metro is from there wasn't really paying attention and didn't look it up.
and vans, right, i'm tired, forgot someone could give him a ride back.
-
Getting a ride back shouldn't be an issue at all.
-
Is everyone all set w/ rides?
-
No.
