Ive seen lots of people lacking for transport. And I hate to see that.

Do keep the rideboard in mind. It's one more option at your disposal.

It does work, and I've never had any bad experiences myself.

That is all.

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.

I have yet to have someone send me an email from there. Must not be a lot of people near my area, though sometimes I venture out a little bit out of my way to help someone. Just have to wait and see.

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 !

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.

http://www.myspace.com/137653882

[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. ;)
