A conversation with SomeGuy led me to saying this about my con experiences and shuttling around my friends at said cons.
Me: "I seem to now be TheO's official ACEN taxi..."
"Coming into town for ACEN? Schultzie will pick you up, and tease you the whole way for flying into the wrong airport, taking the 5am bus, or anything else he sees wrong with your well laid out and thought out travel plans."
SomeGuy: "Mind the fishing gear"

Year One: Shinkiro, I picked her up at the Midway Airport on the far south side of Chicago, teased her relentlessly because she also flew in during rush hour. So it was bumper to bumper the whole way to the hotel.

Year Two: Red and Duo, I drove the 10.5 hours to Toronto, picked them up at the airport, lost my phone, and wouldnt drop it. I would not let it go and Red finally threatened to hit me if I mentioned my cell phone again, so I stopped.

This year: I will be picking up Kastom from the bus station (IF HE EVER BOOKS THE DAMN BUS TICKET!!!). I will be picking him up in the wee hours of the morning, so I will tease him for getting my ass out of bed so frackin' early on a day off.

I do all of this in good fun, I dont mind driving in the slightest, and even the waking up early part isnt anything to lose sleep over (I cant believe I did that). Come on, its what I do for a living, why wouldnt I do it for friends?

And who knows, maybe this tradition will continue next year, I hope so.
Anyone want to come to Chicago nextMay?
