Con-rides experiment (original) (raw)

Last year I offered free rides between Baycon and Fanime, and also did a round-trip for a member of Kublacon so she could get to an event at Baycon.
I'm continuing my experiment from last year, and officially including Kublacon. It's only 6 miles from Baycon this year. Last year I broke even on gas with tips I got, and I met a lot of cool people. This year I also have a nice bike rack, which could come in handy.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I didn't have a chance to get away from KC myself, but did anyone else take advantage of the Con-rides experiment this year? How did it work?

Last year I met a few interesting people and drove friends around too.
This year I didn't get around to making fliers, which probably made some difference. I had several interested phone calls (and also a few from people who didn't know what a con was but saw the car with the phone number on it), but I wound up driving friends around.
It was fun. I think I'll do it again. I may make some t-shirts for friends to wear.
