I think carpooling is a great idea, but I'm not sure what the best way of advertising location/linking up with people might be (ideally, a voluntary carpooling database of sorts) -- via the mail list seems like it would generate a lot of (mail) traffic if every person (in theory) posted where they live. :-P
But since the thread is open now, I will take the opportunity to advertise anyway. :-D I live in Bonavista, so if anyone wants to carpool from this or surrounding areas, I am happy to provide the car. Reply to me privately if you are interested.

The SAIT parking structure (right off 16 Avenue East of 14 Street) is a good bet. Yes, they raised the price to $4.50 but it's still peanuts for peace of mind. The way I look at it, it's (relatively) close to the Senator Burns building and currently we are not charged anything for the use of their rooms, so why not pay the nominal fee. I understand many of our members are thrifty and want to save a buck or $4.50... <grin> Hell, sometimes in the past I have mentioned I am going to a meeting and they wave you through. I wouldn't necessarily make a habit of it but the option is there. Yes, carpooling is a better way to go then you can subsidize the parking fee. Kari, Marcel and I come to meetings together and Marcel is constantly chipping in. Food for thought. I'd hate to see people ticketed or towed because they wanted to save a few bucks.
