meet at airport!

[Carnifex]

i guess it would be alot more fun on the flight if we got together on the plane and were able to sketch hours long until arrival.
so,we should probably figure out where everyone is starting from etc.
me,i will start my flight from vienna airport at 7:35, and i'll change plane on london airport by 10:30. final landing time in sf at 13:35 local time.
so,is anyone of you starting at around the same time?(i'm flying british airways btw).

[Jaku]

Bilbao (6.45) - (8.55) Frankfurt (10:10) - (12.30) San Francisco

Carnifex, If you arrive at 13.35, i can wait for you at the airport and get together to town.

[Carnifex]

hey,thanx pal.would be nice. i hope that doesn't get too boring for ya though.although i guess you have much material to sketch...an airport is crammed...;)

[Jaku]

Trust me, after thousand of hours of flight, i don´t care to wait an extra hour for you. :)

[Carnifex]

alright,thanx buddy.:)
what about you others?

[egerie]

ARRIVAL : Jan 6 - 19:36. Guess I'll meet you guys the next day ;)

[Red_Rook]

anyone arriving on the 5th or am i on my own? :perv:

[RES]

Hi Carnifex,
Looks like Iam getting the same fight from london as you so it should be easy for me to meet up with you and Jaku.
Any others for the british airways london filght at 10:30 on the 6th?

[Jaku]

egerie-> Next day? aren´t we doing an all together meeting the 6th to have a couple of beers at night??? :blahblah: (what happened to the beer drinking smilies? :nohope: )

[Carnifex]

cool RES, looks like we can sketch together on the plane. looking forward to trading signed artworks(sketches rather).
on that account btw, what dimensions do you guys think should my sketchbook have?

oh yeah and IMPORTANT, i'm yet under 21(19 to be exact),so does that mean absolutely NO alcohol for me?:(

looking forward to meeting you guys.
i guess i'll be pretty tired after the flight. :yawn:

[arghmisfit]

i arrive on the sixth around 8ish, first i fly from regina to calgary then to SF.. not sure about the times atm.

[Carnifex]

8pm. or am.?

[egerie]

egerie-> Next day? aren´t we doing an all together meeting the 6th to have a couple of beers at night??? :blahblah: (what happened to the beer drinking smilies? :nohope: )
That ought to put us in a jolly mood for the next day ! Plus no shyness (unless some people overdo the booze !)
Prom made something way better than the beer smilies !! :vodkamachine: :vodka1: :vodka2: :vodka1: :vodka1: :coke: :7up: (even some for the underaged)

[arghmisfit]

i arrive in SF at 9 pm actually

[Red_Rook]

egerie there all goddam hard stuff. All vodkas i believe :O

[cartoonfox]

me jeffjaws and calle_ are taking the 13:40 heathrow and arriving san fran at 16:25

looking forward to seeing you all there



peace :7up:

[flex mathews]

hi guys,
i m ariving at 11:20 am on the 6th. let me know if anyone will be arriving about the same time.

[RES]

Sorry Carnifex your absolutely right about the crazy American drinking laws. Does any one know if under 21 can get in to the bars?

[flex mathews]

not likely, unless you can find an id. lots of bars are 18 and up though. you can get in but you can't drink.

[Carnifex]

*mumbles something about stupid laws and hotel drinking* :er:
but atleast i can get into a bar and dance or whatever...though it's only half as funny without alcohol probably.

[Tully]

I'm in the same boat as you, Carnifex. I'm sure there will be a bunch of us not able to drink legally. Bah.. I've been legal for quite a while here >:|

Anybody going through Toronto?

[0kelvin]

I'm leaving Vancouver Airport on the 6th at 11:00 AM and arriving in San Francisco at 1:22 PM. Hopefully I'll be able to meet up with some of you.



0kelvin

[Carnifex]

well,if you waited some time you'd surely meet me. i'm arriving 1:35 pm as i stated in my first post.

[Oblio]

Bucharest (6 Jan) 6am - 7:30 Frankfurt (waiting for Jaku ;) )10:10 - 12:30 SF - this will be a nice ride!

At return however - i'll be a whole day in Frankfurt on 14 Jan - anyone there? :\

[artkitty]

I'm set to arrive in SF on the 6th at 2 PM PST. I don't think my flight serves lunch so I'm gonna be STARVING! Hopefully I can meet up with some of you guys for lunch :3

[cartoonfox]

hey, if you can be bothered waiting 2 hours, im up for that ^-^

heh, anyone else arriving around 4:30pm on the 6th? with me calle_ and jeff jaws



peace :7up:

[RETEP]

i will be arriving around 12:30 noon (delta) on the 6th from atlanta.
anyone want to meet up??

cant wait to meet everyone!

[Tully]

Anyone getting in late? My plane is scheduled to land at 11:10pm. I really wish I could've gotten in sooner, but it can't be helped.

Oblio, is that am or pm?

[inpho]

My friend and I will be arriving in SF int. on Jan 6th @ 9:51AM if anyone is interested in riding to the hotels with us, please let me know.. And if ur going to be getting in sometime close to that, im totally down waiting for ppl if ur flight is a little later then that.. or vise versa :P

Cant wait..

[arghmisfit]

yo inpho what hotel are u staying at???

[imglue]

yo cartoonfox, which hotel are u staying at?

im arriving on th e 6th around noon probably, PM me for info, we can hang out

[prostate sunrise]

tully - im arriving at 10:51pm. another late comer.

[inpho]

Triton all the way :D

[Jeff Jaws]

Hey Oblio, when are you gonna arrive at Frankfurt on the 14th? I'm landing about 5 pm.

Jj.

[Jaku]

Oblio, i arrive at frankfurt at 10.15am and leaving to Bilbao at 2.20pm

It´ll be great to flight with you!

[steak-tron]

RETEP: you may have seen artkitty's time but a few of us GA folks are flying out from Atlanta and getting there at 2. It'd be cool to meet up

Any other after-noon folks looking to meet up would be gravy. I don't know anything about the SFO airport.

[hito]

My and a friend or two will be arriving on the 6th between 3:44PM in San Fran Terminal 3; American Airlines 1655; providing no delays in flights and what not... we're staying in Galleria park

Cartoonfox etal, we can meet up and whoever else are waiting around!

[0kelvin]

How are we all gonna know each other? Are we gonna set up a place to meet (might be hard since few of us know the airport)? Or we could just wander around with signs around our necks.



0kelvin

[one2hit]

I'll be ariving at the San Fran airport at 2:15pm on the 6th. I'd like to meet up with some people so we can shuttle, or taxi over to the workshop area. I'm willing to wait around for some late arivers, or whatever...let me know if you're gonna be there on the 6th.

[Carnifex]

i'm arriving on 6th at 1:35 pm. i think i can wait that half an hour.

[cartoonfox]

hey hito, ok cool, looking forward to meeting you

i dont think artkitty can be bothered waiting 2 hours ^-^ but if she can then thats cool


i think we should at some point post photos (proper ones ^-^) of ourselfs so people meeting each other can regognise each other.
in amsterdam i didnt have a clue what blackhawk or atmospheria (my room mates) looked like, and i couldnt find them in the airport and had to pay for the taxi on my own, it was exspensive ^-^
and that night, the only reason we found the other group of peeps who were gonna all go to some bar and draw, was because i recognised hurricane, who was in the group, from a photo he posted, other wise we would have never found them ^-^


anyway,
man i cant wait for this



peace :7up:

[RETEP]

steak-tron- yeah, it would be great to meet up. i dont have a problem waiting around, i dont know anything about SF.

[poly_cube]

Hey guys, I'll be ariving at 11:07 am on the 6th- love to meet up with a few people!

[arghmisfit]

every1 should book there hotel rooms and just chill/sketch in the lobby waiting for others to join in... i know thats what my plan is :bashful:

[one2hit]

every1 should book there hotel rooms and just chill/sketch in the lobby waiting for others to join in... i know thats what my plan is :bashful:

that's fine, but the problem is meeting up at the airport so we can all transport ourselves 30 miles over to the hotels together. Taxi fair in downtown SF is rather steep for one person. If we could hook up with others who are getting there around the same time we could all taxi or shuttle over there. ;)

[flex mathews]

i dont know about you guys but i'm taking the bart to get into downtown. thats the quickest way to get there.

[cartoonfox]

is BART the tram thing? how much does it cost? i'm guessing theres a station near the airport?
i guess if people have a lot of bags to carry though, taking a taxi might be easyer



peace :7up:

[one2hit]

i dont know about you guys but i'm taking the bart to get into downtown. thats the quickest way to get there.

That's probably the best way to do it actually. A bart ticket won't cost you more than $8 if even that.

[-MonkeyBoy-]

I get in at 2.55pm. BART sounds like a good option, so I will probably go there and try to sketch conspicuously. :painting:

Or maybe carry a sign: :yayca:

[Carnifex]

btw how much money are you gonna take with you? i heard in shops they rather want you to pay with credit card than with actual money? anybody have info on this?

[cartoonfox]

credit cards? hmm, when i went to new york, i payed everything in cash (i didnt even have a credit card ^-^), maybe san fran is different? but i can only bring cash anyway, so bleh!

as for how much, im not sure. im thinking about £20 a day ($40 a day)(not including the money to buy a DS/games), but if any locals have any advice on this, would be helpfull




peace :7up:

[Fallen11]

[Rkhon]

Sweet, thanks for the info Hito. I should be arriving at Oakland Airport around 1pm onthe 6th, and will be BARTing to Montgomery to walk. If you see me, just shout.

[Red_Rook]

7:20 pm on the 5th

[Carnifex]

aie...i just heard from friends that there are pretty strict controls so it can take 1-2 hours to get outside the airport after arrival. >:|
could this be right?

[cartoonfox]

yeah it took me ages to get out of the jfk airport in new york ^-^

not sure about 2 hours though, i guess we'll soon find out ^-^




peace :7up:

[Red_Rook]

[MoP]

RES, Carnifex - looks like I'm on the same flight as you guys! Can't remember where I'm sitting though... and it's a big plane :)

Actually, you'll be thinking "Who the hell is this guy?!" ... I'm a long-time CA.org lurker, only signed up to post recently though. I mainly hang around the polycount (http://boards.polycount.net) and CGChat.com boards, though.
Primarily a modeller/texture artist, but I'm trying to get more into concepting, painting and traditional media.

Maybe I'll bump into you guys at the terminal lounge! I'll wear a black'n'green polycount t-shirt so I'll be obvious (and of course carrying a sketchbook and pencils) :)

Looks like my first $5 will be spent on the BART getting into town... I'll be staying at the Galleria.
If someone specifies a meeting place at the SF airport, I will try to get there! Might be waiting for Eli Heuer too since his flight gets in an hour after mine, and he'll be one of my roommates.

See you all there!

Paul "MoP" Greveson

[Carnifex]

[RES]
