It’s springtime bitches, and you know what that means… IKEA BUS! Yes, we’re (and by we I mean me) doing it again, and no April Foolin, tickets are on sale today. I’m doing a limited amount of $30 early bird tickets, so if you’re definitely in, you might want to get on that soon. (BE AN EARLY BIRD RIGHT NOW)
For those of you who don’t know about the many mystical properties of the IKEA Bus, here is a brief lowdown:
For less than a price of a bus ticket to Boston, you get a ride to a place that the Greyhound won’t take you, donuts & coffee, a bunch of local snacks, and trashy in-flight movies. Oh, and did I mention the liberal BYOB policy?
Did I also mention that we have an awesome moving company who will bring all your giant boxes back to Portland for you and deliver them to your car or house? (Deliveries to towns other than Portland are currently in negotiation.)
p.s. IKEA is a amazing. Jonathan Coulton will tell you all about it.
If you want all the actual factual details about the logistics of the trip, you can find it all on the ticketing site. But really, you don’t need to know those details. All you need to know is that there’s pretty much nothing better than slightly tipsy furniture shopping with a lot of excellent people. Also, meatballs.
HORSE meatballs even!
Hi Ali, I have good news and bad news. I had 2 brains surgeries this last week and going in again around 5/17 for the finishing touch. I don’t want to but think I should not go on this trip to IKEA because of the seriousness and unexpectedness of this surgery. Do you know anyone that would purchase my ticket under the circumstances? My surgeon when thru the groin to reach the brain which makes this surgery very convenient to say the least. It’s amazing I’m writing to you and home after 5 days in the hospital. Please let me know, I was one of the early birds. Thanks Rachel Parker
