Title: Anybody from San Jose State?
Post by: JTchinoy on May 14, 2008, 02:57:36 AM
I know the drive from San Jose State to the convention center is long and can be lonely/ boring, so I'm checking if anyone in the area would like to ride with me to the convention center.  Just help pitch in for gas a bit. :)

edit::
For those who don't want to carpool, I thought I'd still be helpful to you all and provide you with directions on how to get to the convention center. :)  Hope you carpool with me though. ;D

???

The walk from SJSU to the Con barely takes 5 minutes (San Carlos exit + 4th street garage), what are you talking about?  It might actually be faster than taking a car so yes.

SJSU students walk yo asses to the con and save your gas money for better things.

I'm sorta confused about this as well JT... but i kinda see the point.

if your a cosplayer, and buy lots of random thingies from the dealers room and you DONT have a room, i guess i could see why ur driving the 7 blocks from SJSU to the SJCC parking lot.

that plus considering the hot weather this summer, walking 7 blocks could feel long. but trust me im sure there are worse walking stories from other Conventions and situations.

IF Anything, I'd say JT is looking for a hawt date. Cant blame him. Just dont pick up any traps.  :P

I learned alot from Yaoi-Con, but I'll probably makes the same mistakes anyway.  :-[

I don't live on campus, but I usually park at the 7th street garage for the weekend seeing as how it's unlimited in and out privileges and it's FREE (Cause I have a full permit for all the days)

OMG pit stop at La Vics to catch our bearings. :D
we better get 2 burritos each to go to last the rest of the drive.  You never know when an old lady will fall in front of our car and cause a massive backup. :o

I haven't had any La Vics in like... a month. Been lacking the cash, and they require 6$+ for card. I'm so deprived.

The joke would be hard to reference if it wasn't made in the same section as the other "anyone in ___" threads that it parodies.

Not from SJSU... but SCU. Sadly, there are far too few of us from good ol' Santa Clara U. at Fanime. It is a sad, sad thing. :(

I'll be staying with friends at SJSU this weekend though. So can I be an honorary student or something? I won't wear any SCU gear, I promise.  ;D
