Thank you, Pix! Other folks, I'm reminding that I'll be in Chicago, Seattle and New Orleans, and I am more than happy to meet and travel few hours to see you. That's the whole point of this trip.
Also, since you're flying on an Israeli passport
Other than leaving and entering Israel, I'll actually be traveling with my British passport. No idea how things are now, but in 2007 it got me a special invention on airport speakers and a few extra questions on each and every American and Canadian airport.
Long security lines = longer than 20-30 minutes wait for the check? I have no idea how long they normally take.
Normally, no, but United is completely unpredictable in this regard (SFO is their hub and so they have their own terminal essentially). I want to say Hec (maybe?) missed a flight because of either luggage or security lines. I used to fly them for work and security could get bad in the mornings. Meara would probably know better me though.
Pix, assuming you still have the same cell# you did for Pasadena F2F, yes I have it. My number is still the same (and is stashed down in my profile if you need it again).
My plan is to leave here (Westlake/Thousand Oaks) about 12:00, so hopefully 1:30 is a realistic estimate for arriving (and parking, and walking/tramming up to the entrance, etc.)at the Getty Center.
Do you want me to call/text you at some point? Or assume we're a go unless I hear otherwise? Burrell, ditto?
If I recall (It's been too long since I've been to the Getty), parking is tight. Might make sense to meet elsewhere and carpool to the Getty.
Nope, there's a ton of parking. Huge garage with many levels.
Epic, yes, same number as the Pasadena F2F. I have to meet a group of hiking friends at 5:30 in Glendale, but I'll be able to spend a few hours. I'll just plan to arrive around 1 -- text me when you get there. We can meet at the top of the tram area.
And I am slowly drowning in grading and house stuff. May need to go to Sears or Lowes tomorrow to buy a new washer, in which case all bets are off.
My life! I'd like for just a bit more slack.
Yup, I missed getting Emmett on a flight at 7 am even though we were in the terminal an hour and a half before the flight.
That is bad. Usually the early morning ones are a safe bet.
Chicago - May 15th till May 20th
I'll be free evenings the 15th-17th and all day on the 18th. Let me know if you are interested in seeing this. [link]
Well I've had an eventful night. I was on my way to prom (chaperoning, way less fun than Buffista prom) and got rear-ended. No real injuries and my car is drivable, but I won't be going anywhere tomorrow since I have to take the car to the dealership to leave for Monday -- I also have already taken a lot of Advil and a Flexoril to ward off the stiff back and neck I can already feel coming on. The car is going to need, ND estimates, about $5K of repairs. Sigh.
So sorry, Epic. I really wanted to see you.
