I hope it is useful for you , as well as other people.

Gas prices are really high right now, and people lack money for fun things, so cooperation lets more people get more enjoyment at lower cost. Makes sense to me at least.

UPDATE: MI Goth- Industrial Rideboard

Due to popular demand, I have added a new field to the Rideboard's

submission form. Some people offering rides are willing to drive a little

out of the way, a fact which was not previously indicated on the Rideboard.

There is now a space to indicate the range you are willing to go out of your

way.

I hope this helps people form carpools more easily.

Carpooling is always a good idea, for everyone involved.

That's why I set up a central location for people to list their information

so they can find others in their area who are interested in going to the

same events. The rideboard is not about me, it is about everyone helping

each other. Everyone wins.

Lots of people check the MI Goth - Industrial Rideboard, but in order for it

to work to its full potential, more people need to list their carpooling

ride wants and / or offers. The more people sign up, the more likely people

will find people to carpool with .

Obviously people should use their judgement in accepting or offering rides

to strangers, but I've never had any problems myself. I wish everyone luck !

Holiday season is here, the spirit of sharing, end of the year parties,

money is tight, roads are snowy, drinking and driving isn't good.

What to do? Carpool !

MI Goth Industrial Rideboard: save more money have more fun

Hi,

Interested in going to the Necto, City Club, Mephistos, Luna, the Labyrinth, etc ? One more resource for people who want to go to clubs and concerts: carpool! Everyone wins when people cooperate.

There are currently people listed on the Rideboard interested in going to all the above places. Some are offering rides, some are looking for rides. Everyone who has listed themselves on the Rideboard is interested in connecting with new people. The latest entries are two people offering rides to City Club.

What are the benefits of the Rideboard to you?

Event promoters win when more people show up their events. Club patrons win when they get to attend events that they might not attend otherwise. Gas costs, transportation availability, interest in meeting new people, companionship on long drives are just some of the reasons that people find carpooling appealing.

There are currently people listed from all over SE Michigan, but the Rideboard is open to anyone whose trip either originates or ends in Michigan. People from Western or Northern areas of Michigan are welcome. People going to or coming from Chicago or other out-of-state locations are welcome, if their journey is to a Michigan event.

If you are adventurous, what have you got to lose? Everyone wins!

I see a lot of people looking for carpools to various events. Want a place everyone can go to see all the requests in organized form? No wading through threads, just the facts, in easy to read form.

Personally I've had more luck getting rides this way than asking randomly on email lists/boards. But your experience may vary.

It's there for anyone who wants to use it.

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who has been interested in the MI Goth- Industrial Rideboard that I have

been running for the past several years.

I thought I should mention also that the Rideboard has finally arrived on myspace, for

those of you who use that.

[yes the myspace URL is pretty generic, I should rename it sometime...]

With all the activities coming up this time of year, I hope everyone can get to their

desitinations successfully!

Just a periodic reminder to everyone to keep their info on the Rideboard

up to date. This helps everyone involved.

Supposedly some bar in Detroit is serving a special flavor of paczki this

year. Jaeger Paczki! The filling is coagulated jaegermeister ? I dare

someone to try that. And please take advantage of carpooling if you eat a

six pack of Jaeger Paczki. After that, you shouldn't be driving. ;)

    • I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
