UO student seeking ride from Eugene, Portland « Thread Started on Apr 25, 2011, 10:08pm »
I am Mickey, a 22 year old Univesity of Oregon Student who's ride to Sasquatch just dropped on me. Will take a bus to most convenient location for you (Portland, Albany, Corvallis, Salem, ect.) and compensate generously. I am a chill dude with a ticket for all four days, and feeling pretty desperate.

My friend and I are flying up to Portland and thinking about renting a car there. If we do that, we'll need 3 other people to fill it up and split the cost. I can't give you a for sure answer just yet since we're trying to Dr. Garbanzoure out if we can just get a ride with someone as well but if that's the route we're going we could definitely help you out.
We're in the same situation so we definitely understand.

Not that you asked me, but..
I'll be graduating from UO this Spring and I LOVE it. As long as you can handle the almost endless months of rain, I don't see why anyone would feel differently. Eugene is a pretty good representation of the PNW, imo. Do you know what your major will be? I could give more specific advice about the school I got my degree from, but it's pretty small.
And bc I feel guilty ignoring the OP... I'll either be going up to Sasquatch with a friend in Portland on Thursday (in which case I don't think it's really in my place to offer a ride) or I'll be leaving after a lab on Friday (noon) and meeting my friends at the fest. In the case of the belt sander, you probably don't want to wait until 7 on Friday to get there- I know I don't.

Cliff's Notes Version: In Eugene, have car, will drive in exchange for gas funds and logistics consultancy.
Lengthier Version:Under recommendation (read: serious pressure) from my friends, I bought a Sasquatch pass three months ago. At that point there were about eight of us going. The intervening months have read like an Agatha Christie novel, with family issues, a breakup, and general life drama claiming the plans of the would be Sasquatch goers.
I'm the last potential member of the original group. The last hope, if you will. Because if I don't make it... then there were none.
Anyway, I still have a ticket and would prefer to transcend the domino effect that's caused my other friends to revert on going this year. I have transportation and the resources, intellect, and biting wit necessary to make it a solo op, but I'd prefer not to go alone because 1. Going alone would be lame and 2. I haven't been, and it could be useful to interrogate a Sasquatch demographer en route. Also, interrogations make for less soul-crushingly boring roadtrips.
So: if you need a ride, and you're willing to advise and/or help out with the camping situation, get in touch. If you need a ride and you're willing to pitch in for petrol, get in touch. If you have a winning personality and you can charm your way into people's hearts everywhere you go: you're a psychopath. But you're welcome to come. Get in touch.

Jesus Christ. This is a strong contender for my favorite first post ever.
