If anyone is gonna be driving down from Jacksonville on the 26th (wednesday) I'm flying in at around 11am and would really appreciate sharing a ride. I don't know if I can rent a car in my name (under 25 + foreign passport), but I'm happy to split the driving/gas costs/car snacks!

What time are you flying in on Thursday? I'm in the same boat as you. I'm flying in from Chicago on Thursday morning. If everything goes as planned with no flight delays, I should arrive at JAX at 8:30am. I also want to be out of Gainesville and back at the Jacksonville airport as early as possible on Monday. I noticed the Greyhound schedule has non-stop trips from Jacksonville to Gainesville that are gonna be a lot cheaper than taxi or car rental ($30-40 round trip) but I don't know what street corner that bus leaves from or where it drops you off and the earliest that bus could arrive in back in Jacksonville on Monday is 1:05 PM, however I was hoping to leave on a 7am or 10:52am United Airlines flight. I mean Thursday won't be a problem because the Fest doesn't start til Friday so I'll have all day to kill and it looks like taking a bus is the most reasonable option. Here are the bus schedules so let me know if anyone else wants to do that or get drunk in Gainesville the day before the Fest: https://www.greyhound.com/default.aspx
Otherwise, I'm just interested to know, for those people flying in to Jacksonville, what time they will be travelling back to the airport and if there will be any rides available early Monday that I can chip in gas money for.

Anyone else heading back to Jacksonville on the Tuesday?

we are leaving gainesville at about 5am on monday morning to be there by 7 to drop off and catch our plane back to boston for 9am. get at me if you wanna hitch back with us, if its not too early for ya

No, that would work perfectly. The 2 flights back to Chicago that I am looking at would be at 7am and 10:52am. It's supposed to be a 1hr 45min drive so the 7am flight might be cutting it close but I don't mind waiting for the next flight. I would still be back in time for work that day. I'll hit you up on Facebook or pm you so we can exchange information before the Fest.

no doubt let me know if anything.

To anyone that still needs a ride...

I would consider rerouting myself from Atlanta on Thursday and dropping through Jacksonville if someone is willing to throw in some gas money. I will be stopping in Gainesville and then down to Tampa for the prefest shows. Let me know if this could help anyone. I know some gas cash would help on this end.
