Block Party: Transportation May 1, 2007
Posted by Trixter in Demoscene, Uncategorized.trackback
I drove from Chicagoland to Cleveland, OH for Block Party. Necros flew. We both arrived at the same time because of the weather. So which was cheaper?
A plane ticket, priced via priceline 2 months in advance, is about $133. My costs were $129 in gas + oil change before heading out. So I win, right?
Wrong. On the way home, I locked my keys in the car at a rest stop. Cost to have the car jimmied open? $45.
Yeah, I’ll be flying next time.
actually did i mention my flight was only $119 round trip?
(then again i did spend 4 hours in midway airport due to BS air traffic control delays…)
i do recommend the flying, though, if you’re not carting around that XT next year
Bah, road tripping is the way to go! Though not so much solo :(.
Oh and I’ll bet you can’t render 100 flat cubes on a PC AT in EGA! *wink*
Technically, your flight was free! And so would have been Trixter’s.
Lessons learned for next time :-)
And as for 100 flat cubes on a PC AT with EGA — piece of cake! Except I am targeting an XT with CGA. Now, can I do it? You’ll have to see next year…
SPEAKER TRACKER
(doh that was cooler with all the HTML around it)
((it’s a subliminal message))
Hint taken! But remember, it’s not SPEAKER TRACKER but instead IT SINGLE CHANNEL PLAYER.
Not working on it yet, but thinking about it…
What car do you have? A VW New Beetle, for example, is designed to prevent the driver from being able to lock their keys in the car. I think most other new VWs are the same.
This is true. Sadly I don’t own a car like that :)
So, what car *do* you have? :P
Personally, my car is a 14-yr-old Ford Escort stationwagon. Yes, I am stylin’! But I took my wife’s minivan to/from the party because it had cruise control.
