USC event April 3

[Sonia]

Thanks for the shuttle info, J. I just reserved my spot on a Prime Time shuttle from the Vagabond to the airport””only $13.50!

3's company, Gundy.

I'll be going to the April 3rd event as well. I am staying with family in LA though. Does anyone know what the parking rates are for a daily (or hourly) pass at USC?

 

[KayS]

Hey! So turns out I can go to the event after all. I decided I would probably regret not going, so I booked my travel. This forum is freaking awesome. Booked my ticket, hotel (Vagabond), and shuttle service (prime time) all from information on this forum in less than an hour.

Sonia, are you only taking the shuttle from the vagabond to the airport, or are you taking it from the airport to the vagabond, too?

I'm arriving April 2nd and leaving April 4th, and I can't wait to meet you guys!!!

 

[Sonia]

I'm so glad you're coming, Kay!

I reserved a shuttle at a certain time to take me from the Vagabond to the airport, since I knew I could be ready at that time.

I'm planning to call a shuttle from the airport when my plane gets in””I guess there's a place where lots of people do that, and the shuttle arrives pretty quickly.

If you or anyone else who's around the day before the event wants to meet up and explore campus, let me know. My plane gets in at 2 PM on the 2nd.

I am new to this site. What is the April 3rd USC event?

 

[KayS]

oh snap. Maybe that was the smarter way to do it...I might cancel my first shuttle spot and do that.

Yeah! I'm definitely down to meet up and explore. I have a pesky habit of getting lost when I'm by myself. One of these days I will have to spring for one of those nifty little gadget phones all the kids have these days with the GPS for when I step out the door. I have a Tom Tom in my car, but I need one for my damn feet.

SteelyD, Gundy, Sonia...is four company? I'd like to join your Vagabond crew.

 

[Sonia]

It's an event for admitted students to find out more about the program and meet faculty & current students.

Kay, that sounds grrreat.

 

[Jayimess]

Parking on campus is $8/day, at the Shrine is $7. Plus street parking, a lot of it ISN'T metered if you can get it.

 

[timkido]

hey! I think i'm going to attend if the airplane ticket is reasonable!

Should we plan on wearing a certain color or something?

 

[KayS]

Haha...Wouldn't it would be hilarious if half the luncheon students showed up wearing red?

What if we each had something unique to identify us? I have a tacky ring that I love, and it looks like a film strip wrapped around my index finger. I wore it for good luck through this waiting period

It would also be kind of a fun game to figure out who everyone is based on some small clue......OR we could end up really creeping people out by staring at them in search of that one single hoop earring lol.

 

[Jayimess]

Everyone wear cerulean rubber bracelets!

Sweatbands!

And the clue game is amazing, I dare y'all to do it. I'll still tell you who I am, of course, and be easy to find!

 

[redic]

Would you go with the red white and blue sweatbands or solid color?...wristband or headband?

 

[Jayimess]

Trojan colors, and I think any band will do, lol.

 

[timkido]

um can we do wristband like on the left hand?

i don't think it's a good idea to meet the faculty/other people for this first time in a headband.

...but that might just be me.

 

[Astantax]

I vote for Kay's idea: we should all pick something unique, and post clues...it'll make it so much more fun! Of course, we'd have to walk around with a little scavenger-hunt-like checklist (or at least, I know I will), which in and of itself would give it away, hehe...

Btw, am I the only one staying at the Radisson? I won't be able to join the Thursday afternoon self-tour crew, because I have to WORRRK thursday (lame excuse, I know)...

 

[timkido]

astantax, I might be staying there too.

what are the rates including the discounts?

 

[Sonia]

I'm afraid you'll all recognize me from the picture on my avatar anyway. But I love clues.

 

[hman13]

I am staying at the Radisson. I called and asked for the usc discount and they quoted me for $140 a night; not an outstanding discount. However, i went to hotels-guide.us and got 3 nights for $100 a night and a 4th night for 85, (yeah, im staying 4 nights). So overall, I didnt think that was that bad.

 

[Sonia]

Hmm, that's weird. I think it's for graduate students, definitely screenwriting and production. Any other Stark people hear about it?

 

[solojones]

I'm still deciding whether to go to this or not. I RSVPd and I would like to go, but there are a few problems. For one thing, if I get into Chapman before then I don't see myself not just saying yes to that right away. For another, I actually have a taping for a DVD for my school that weekend and since I don't really have a job and I'm getting paid for that, I don't know if I can get away
