Drop-in fees?

[dray]

Hey everyone--

I am going to be in Southern California for some job-related training in March and am looking around at places to train at night...was wondering what your drop-in fees are?

Also, I'll be staying in Irvine and I know the traffic is real rough down there at just about any time during the day, but I am wondering if anyone can give me an estimate as to how long the commute would be coming from there around 5:30-6 in the evening. If I could make it in time for the 7pm purple belt classes (maybe a little late) and stay for the 8pm training it would be worth it to me even if it is a long car ride.

Thanks in advance...

hey dray. your from Dave's school right. I dont think Shawn really charges peoples from Dave's but its $20.

and from irvine with no traffic is a solid hour. SOLID. so at that hour 530 and you would be pushing it. it just also depends. sometimes traffic is bad and sometimes not. thursdays are really bad. sometimes mondays are great. if you could come on some sort of jewish holiday there is absolutely no traffic.

HPF--yeah, I'm from Dave's school. I hope if I already have my gear in the car and leave right from where I am working then hopefully I'll get there right in time, which would be about an hour and a half. Googlemaps said it would take me about 45 minutes, so I'm hoping doubling that should give me enough time. Otherwise, I know there are plenty of other places in Orange county I could train at, but I'd much rather go to a place that my coach (highly) recommends. Plus I missed Shawn's seminar last time he was up here and heard a lot of good stuff that we don't see as often at our academy was covered.

Thanks for the reply...I'm hoping to make it out Monday night the 12th unless I wind up having work to do at night.

I look forward to meeting you. I was also PMing with Nelly over on dave's forum. I guess he makes it down to LA sometimes.

come back online on monday and let us know. that way i could make extra effort to train that night.

Will do...it would be a week from this Monday, and aside from the happy hour my hotel will be providing I've got nothing to do at night anyway, so most likely I will be there.

Nelly's the man too, wish he happened to be down there at the same time as me.
