The PAW Bus

This bus will take you door-to-door from the GSR directly to the San Jose Doubletree, host hotel of PAW. It’s scheduled to leave the morning after BLFC is over, and get you to PAW in the early evening, shortly after hotel check-in. All you have to do is stumble on board by 11am, get a nice 5 hour nap on the way to PAW, and be ready to go again!

This bus is mainly intended for people who fly into Reno on October 29 or 30, and fly home from San Jose on November 5 or 6, and for people who are using the companion bus from SJ to Reno.

• Departs: Friday November 3rd, 11am, from the GSR
• Arrives: around 4pm
• Price: estimated at $80, no more than $100
• There is enough space for each person to bring 1 large suitcase (such as a fursuit bin), plus a smaller bag with them at their seat.
  • A “large suitcase” has a sum of all 3 dimensions 65 inches or less, around the same dimensions most airlines consider to be normal checked baggage.
• Bus is non-smoking and non-vaping, but since it will have to stop about halfway for the driver to take their mandatory break, that would be a good time for that if you need it.
