possibly looking for a ride from chicago to tampa for at least 3 Aussies, we would be willing to travel separately, leaving on the 27th/28th I know that's 2 days straight driving but with that amount of people it's highly possible to take shifts behind the wheel.
most likely we're going to get a flight down, but just thought I'd see what the possibility of this was

thank youu! While I can't help you with a ride, I'm flying, I am going to all of those shows. We should hang out! Do you have a place to stay? My place is booked up from the 24th to the 28th, I have floor room from the 22nd until the Lawrence Arms show and before that...

I'll have to talk it over with my fiance, but it shouldn't be a problem, I'll let you know. Flights from Chicago to Tampa are $75 on United right now. Let me know if you're going to fly, I'll get you my flight info, I'm trying to get a flight party going!

Hey all, I'm getting desperate for a ride down to gainseville (2 rides cancelling.) If anyone has a spare seat, i'm a small guy, I'd be more than willing to throw down for gas down and back. If you have a spare seat, please contact me asap. I live in chicago (ravenswood) and can find my own way to wherever you plan on leaving. and i can leave as early as wednesday. So yeah.

Hey everyone,
Some stuff got confusing and fell through, and we now (possibly - not totally sure yet) have 2 seats free in a car with 2 girls going Chicago - GV on the 28th.
If anybody's interested in sharing driving/gas, email me at: eilidhn2000 at hotmail dot com I promise we're nice.
