Some people are coming from pretty far away to get to this fest, so I know there are probably some going to more ridiculous lengths to make it out to Hollywood for as little money as possible, but I thought I'd let you all know what I've decided to do in the name parsimony:
- Drive from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs (past Denver's DIA) with a random person or two (found through CraigsList's RideShare category) to share the gas cost.
- Leave my car at a friend's in Colorado Springs (no parking fees); get a ride from his brother to the airport.
- Fly from Colorado Springs to Las Vegas.
- Get a ride from Vegas to Baker; another ride from Baker to the High-Desert.
And this is where it gets tricky. Either getting another ride from here, renting a car for a few days (even with some sweet discounts and costs split a couple ways, it's still pricey), or borrowing a car.
Now if I can just get In-N-Out and am/pm to sponsor the trip, I might not go broke.
See you there,
Tristan
