Newbie arrival - Airport Shuttle

[sparklyvirgin.livejournal.com]

So you know when you go to some convention or other event and the first people you meet are the other attendees standing around waiting for transport to the hotel or whatnot?

Would any of the other newbies be interested in having an airport shuttle post before the big picnic? My theory (and this has been okayed by the admins) is that there's a Portalocity portal at the local airport. So no matter where or when you're arriving from, you could go through the portal and end up in a waiting area with the rest of the students. (And hope your luggage doesn't end up in Narnia or something.)

Then a bus or a couple of vans from the school would arrive and the students could chat amongst themselves before being thrust into the great post o' interaction that is the newbie picnic.

If any of the teachers are interested in driving the shuttle or being there to shepherd the students, please let us know! It can always be a *handwavy* NPC driver if no one's available.

As someone who's met up with people before cons by simply listening to my inner fangirl radar (we know our own kind, I swear) I think this is an awesome idea. Especially since this one just *loves* social interaction.

I'm absolutely up for this!

Tony's up for this, as you know.

I think this is a FABULOUS idea.

But since Joan lives in Maryland, I don't know if I can work out her actually taking part :(

This is an awesome idea and I'm so up for it. :D

That sounds like an amazing idea to me, and if you need a chaperone/adult, Sam can be there and drive.

I volunteer Mr Chatty Pants to drive.

Alllllll over this, yes

I would absolutely be down with that. The newbs could bond in the face of "dunno wtf to expect". . . .

This sounds like a totally awesome idea. :D Eric will be so unused to that kind of travel...

Heh. Totally in. Especially since canonically Dor won't understand a word anyone is saying and anything he'll say is gibberish. Or at least until he ends up at Fandom.

Dude, this is an awesome idea.

I am potentially very interested -- I'm just trying to decide between this and having her and Ruth drive corss-country in the hearse.

Decisions, decisions.
