[2008-05-14 12:50:44] hmm, doubt it [2008-05-14 12:50:49] drummond would know best [2008-05-14 12:54:56] Tom is at IIW and is going to try to get some info from Drummond [2008-05-14 12:55:17] I think, even if it comes to getting a cab, that would be better than a rental [2008-05-14 12:55:27] When do you fly out? [2008-05-14 12:55:30] I was just in a session w/ him ... I'm sure I'll see him shortly [2008-05-14 12:55:41] if we get tony to stay in same area we can ride with him [2008-05-14 12:56:09] NICK tdoman [2008-05-14 12:56:24] http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&dirflg=r&saddr=1200+5TH+Ave.%2C+Seattle%2C+WA&daddr=One+Microsoft+Way%2C+Redmond%2C+WA&utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=ha&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-gns-trs&submit.x=149&submit.y=23 [2008-05-14 12:56:36] according to google - there are buses that take 30 min [2008-05-14 12:57:48] actually - at rush hour times go to 45 mins [2008-05-14 12:58:31] every six min or so [2008-05-14 13:10:28] ok, very cool [2008-05-14 13:13:20] Mike, did you say when you plan to fly out? [2008-05-14 13:13:33] by out, I mean back home [2008-05-14 13:16:42] home on fri night [2008-05-14 13:27:36] drummond recommends a rental car [2008-05-14 13:27:56] he says there are buses etc. as you've found but that they aren't very flexible [2008-05-14 13:28:24] he says you don't have to pay to park "on the east side" [2008-05-14 13:29:21] I guess he said he also can help shuttle people around [2008-05-14 13:29:24] yeah, but all I need is transport to/from airport, and maybe to/from MSFT once [2008-05-14 13:29:33] not worth a car [2008-05-14 13:30:03] yeah, true, well maybe you can coordinate w/ drummond for some of those trips [2008-05-14 13:30:17] yeah, good idea [2008-05-14 13:30:47] he said he's on the "seattle side" ... "on" meaning "lives" I guess?' [2008-05-14 13:30:59] ok, yeah [2008-05-14 13:31:20] so, if the little msft mtg gets over at 5, I wonder if I can make a 7:35pm flight [2008-05-14 13:32:32] probably you can [2008-05-14 13:32:45] I'd just order a cab to be there @ 5pm for that one [2008-05-14 13:32:51] yeah [2008-05-14 13:33:00] it's only 15 miles [2008-05-14 13:33:07] cab shouldn't be too much [2008-05-14 13:33:23] that'd be 20-30 minutes unless traffic is really bad [2008-05-14 13:33:39] yeah -- of course, it will be rush hour [2008-05-14 13:33:47] you'll have 90 min though [2008-05-14 13:34:01] 90 min + if you check in online [2008-05-14 13:34:16] true [2008-05-14 13:36:40] that's what I'll do then.
