Goo point, Ryder. TT and I haven't really coordinated our exact schedules yet. I'm off all that week so it doesn't really mater when I leave on Tuesday...
Depends when we leave... Lately, we've left after 8:00 PM Central time. We had to come home from work,pack, meet up, repack, and hit the road. This year, I'll already be home so I should be able to pack and be on the road whenever TT is ready to go. If that is early enough, we'll shoot straight through.
1.) Put crap in car
2.) Get in car
3.) Put music from zen on, assuming that zen has been fixed by this point.
4.) Check appearance in mirror
5.) Start car
6.) Get gas
7.) Get back in car
8.) Drive upstate
9.) Get out several times to pee
10.) Call Prime/The Boyfriend/*Insert random friend here* to bitch about driving for five hours
11.) Get lost
12.) Call ICHQ for directions. Bitch more.
13.) Get a phone call from the parents, pretend to be safely sitting in apartment doing homework
14.) Call boyfriend and bitch about parents
15.) Arrive.
Okay, well, I was thinking that I would take Thursday off work, and get a proctor to cover my classes, so that I could actually be there for the whole event, but I just realized that the 19th is final exams for that term, which I sort-of need to be around for. That means that Sharky and I will likely be leaving Cincy early in Friday morning, arriving in Warren in time for lunch. If the extra day had been added to the end of the event instead of the beginning, I could have done it, as that will be the beginning of summer break for me. :/

ALOT of us will still be there monday, myself included.
If I was driving up there I wouldn't mind carpooling, but alas, I was lucky enough to get airfare from Orlando to Detroit for just over $100 RT... Maybe next year!! There are enough IC guys in Florida that we could possibly organize something...
Yeah, I wish I could fly from Tallahassee, but the cost of Tally -> Atlanta is ~ $300 (cheapest flight is to Panama City, FL, @ ~$150) then you add on Atlanta to Detroit into the cost which = piggeh doesn't fly out of Tallahassee.
Since I am in Tallahassee, other people in Florida can drive here to meet up (or meet in Lake City) and leave their car at my parents house if needed.
I hope to arrive there on the 19th, probably around late afternoon-ish. I'll be carpooling with Kingpin and Weezer since they're both in my area, as well as anyone else from UPS who decides to come. Perhaps Hitman, depends on that baby thing.
Yes, it'll be a car full of UPS. We'll have a short drive North-East. Can't wait.
Edit: Just saw Kingpin's post for massive lulz. Well done.

I will be leaving on the 18th to drive up and someone to split the cost of gas with (won't be bad, I have a Civic) would be much appreciated.
Just a heads up, I smoke cigs, so yeah, you gotta be cool with that.

I just looked at Travelocity - Tallahassee to Detroit is only $287 and that goes through Atlanta. The $287 is the total price, not just to Atlanta
St.Louis>Illinios>Terre Haute>Indianapolis>Ft. Wayne>Michigan>ICHQ
or
St.Louis>Illinois>Champaign>Chicago>Kalamazoo>ICHQ
see, I can be helpful
Leaving Missouri June 15th, Leaving ICHQ June 24th
