Re: Haha 420th member
Sat, March 3, 2007 - 7:20 PMHello, I am interested in attending the mind states conference, is there someone I can e-mail or talk to about getting further details about it? Like who everyone else is using to get a ride from the airport to the resort? And other questions, I just learned about this from listening to "psychadelic salon" love that show! And I really want to go to this thing -

Sun, March 4, 2007 - 11:16 AMUm, what kind of more information did you want? Did you go to the website (which is listed on the forum home page)? www.mindstates.org
Haven't decided what day I'm going to get to Costa Rica yet, but if we arrive around the same time (as you or anyone else) I would be more than happy to share a ride from the airport to the resort. -

Sun, March 4, 2007 - 4:52 PMsorry about that I was vague. I did visit the website. I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it, but I'm sure as hell going to try, I think spirit has been pointing me to costa rica for a year now, and I didn't know exactly why, but when I found out about this gathering, It all clicked and I really want to get out there. I am going to have to wait until 4/20 to see how my money is looking. At that point, I'll know if I'm going to be able to make it or not. So I'll buy the airplane ticket and the ticket for the resort.
1. I wanted to ask if it is possible that there will still be a ticket available for me if I wait to buy it in late April.
2. I did want to ask about sharing a ride, or what other options there might be.
3. Also is anyone else getting there a day earlier? Does that mean that I would just rent a room out or something at the resort if I was there a day earlier? (I'd only do this if someone else was).
4. Is it a fairly safe trip? I mean I'm not going to get robbed by the cab driver am I? Or does anyone in costa rica speak english? I understand some spanish, but am not fluent.
5. I noticed someone posted a message about a friend looking for people who might be interested in staying longer and working. I am not sure who posted that but I'm interested in finding out more about this proposition.
i feel like i might have more questions, but right now, If I can get a better idea of at least the first 4, that should do until I know if I can make it or not. Thanks. -

Wed, March 7, 2007 - 3:15 PM1. It seems likely that there will still be some tickets in late April, as the event has only sold about 50% of the tickets available as of March 1st.
2. When it gets closer to the event, I am happy to initiate a CC e-mailing list for attendees who want to rideshare.
3. There will undoubtedly be some attendees and presenters who are arriving at the resort a day earlier, or staying a day later. Additional night's stay need to be worked out directly with the resort, but they are offering a discounted rate if you mention that you are attending the conference.
4. Costa Rica struck me as being pretty safe, and certainly safer than Mexico City or Jamaica. People walk the streets at night with no apparent concern. In the larger city of San Jose, I have heard of some scams related to locals robbing tourists who rent cars. The car rental places have notices regarding how these scammers operate. But other than that, the crime rate appears to be low. You are very unlikely to be robbed by a cab driver. The Costa Ricans are extremely friendly, and quite helpful in providing directions if you get lost. Many people speak at least some English, and they are willing to try to do so to provide assistance.
5. I don't know who posted information about staying longer and working, so can't help out with that question.
Folks who have additional questions should feel free to e-mail me directly at mindstates@prodigy.net
-- Jon
