Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

Pff. We've got 22 hours and I know some teams have it worse. I'm going to stay up late so I'm tired tomorrow and sleep most of the way.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

We have an ultra red-eye. We leave LAX at 12:40 AM Thursday. We go to Minneapolis for a one hour layover, then go to Atlanta. We arrive at about 10:40. It will be a race to get to the webhug; I'm only carrying on.

A bus ride from here would probably be around 35 hours.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

So what does everyone plan to do on that long long bus ride? I remember last year someone had a nice Xbox and tv set up on the bus, that was very innovative.

Re: The bus leaves tomorrow!

We fly out at 12:17PM tomorrow and get into Atlanta around 3:38PM. Just in time to make it to the WATSON challenge. ( http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...7&page=2&pp=15 )

See you all there,

P.S. Some lyrics to think about on the ride down:
