Hey, maybe you could add a fan pooling formum to the boards. What it would be is a place where people could talk about possibly getting togehter with 5 or so other people and all going to an event together from one place. I only thought of this since Ontario is so big sometimes it takes several hours to get to a place and it would be cool if 5 people were to all throw in gas money rather then just you forking out all the money yourself. Then maybe you could even promoto these mini bus trips on the site like. Liks post, 3 people are planning to car pool from Waterloo, Ontario to Windsor, Ontario for the BCW October 24th show. They have room for 2 more fans to get in. Or somthing like that. Just a thought.

well, that's a good idea and all, but there is one problem: it's not possible to restrict what forums people post on in a proboards board because of age. if anyone was allowed to post in said forum, then i'm sure sooner or later there would be a pissed off parent coming in and chewing people out for the board having a section where it would be possible for minors to meet up with people they met on the internet. that could end up causing some legal trouble, so i don't really suggest it

I've heard that some people drive pretty far for shows.
A car pool from London to Oshawa for GCW and other shows would be nice. Everyone could chip in on gas and the driver gets a free trip out of the deal since it is his car that gets the wear and tear.LOL
London to Hamilton, likewise. In fact to just about any town holding shows.I dont drive any more and dont go out of town because catching busses home that late is impossable.

They should be included, but only if the parents agree after meeting the driver. In fact, the driver could let the local police know that he is having a car pool to matches . That leaves him/her safe from problems that might arise. Owl

it goes without say that children should stay FAR away from my car.
I personally just post an offer for drives on shows I'm attending (or possibly attending) on the individual thread for the show. I sometimes get biters. Some out of town shows I would attend if I had a few people coming along (I/E chipping in a few bucks for gas), and end up not going if I het no response

I think this would be a great idea. With the precautions of course. I would much rather pass 20 bucks to someone who needs it than to greyhound.

You show up to pick somebody up they look underage. First thing you do is say "sorry junior message me again when you grow some pubes" then drive off laughing.
Otherwise it is a great idea. Might I add another good idea would be a place to stay/camp after a show. If you live close to a venue and want to offer up a place to sleep, living room/backyard/campground/cheap hotel to stay in. This means the long drive can be spread over multiple days it worked out good a few years ago in the Niagara area 3 shows in 2 days had several PPL camped in my backyard (lived close to one venue) bit of a drive to the other 2. But as host my drunken state was maintained for the entire weekend without having to drive.

Wth regards to underaged people, fuck that shit, let the parents do the parenting. I doubt anyone would show up to pick up a 12 year-old and let them in the car.
