ARGFest Rooming

Alright! First of all, if you DONT frequent the chatroom you MIGHT not remember me. I'm Dionysus, aka Andrew (gasp! a Real name!)/. I used to be pretty active ont here boards, particularly with Catchign the Wish, Find Araya, and the great Orbital Colony. My life imploded and that distracte dme for a while but Im making a come back!


Anyway!

To the point, I'm attending ARGFest. No way am I missing it. However, I, as many of you I'm sure, am kinda poor. I work retail, etc. $189 a night is a HUGE chunk of change. As such, I was hoping (as Im sure is intended by the planners) to find some fellow ARGers willing to share a room for the event. This is will cut room costs significantly (even two people sharing brings the cost down to 189 for the absolutely nessecary Fridya and Saturday nights combined).

Quick bit about me as a roomie! First, I have an amazing ability to sleep anywhere. So, say, three of us wanted to get a room together, I'd be perfectly willing to sleep on the floor. I slept in far more uncomfortable conditions in Americorps NCCC, trust me. Second, despit emy apparent insanity on #unfiction, I actually make a good roomate. In Americorps I lived with 10 people for 10 months, often at least 3+ to a single room. If there's one thing I learned, it was how to get along and not piss off even people with greatly varying habits. So... I wont be pissing you off! Yay! Also, I don't snore and I can sleep through others snoring! Hoorah!

So anyone else interested in lowering the cost of the event with me? I can be reached via posting in the thread , PMing me, finding me as Dionysus on #unfiction or via AIM as JakRhee. Also, others feel free to use this thread to put together groups (for example, ARGers of the female persuasion may wish to find other girls to room with since everyone knows us guys smell).

In conclusion, it may seem a bit early to be putting up a thread liek this, and in fact, it is. However, the sooner plans are made the sooner and thus cheaper airfare can be purchased! I can't wait to meet everyone!

Excellent! I'm glad you started this.

I will be flying in on Friday and want to share a room Fri/Sat night (non-smoker).

Edit to add: If you don't know me by now....but, just in case, I'm female (and one of the chronologically older uF members) and I've roomed with both genders in the past.

As has been the case in previous years, we also have a page on the Wiki for 2008 Attendees. Feel free to add yourself to the list there, and also mention that you are seeking a roommate if that's the case (just remember to remove that notation once you find a roommate).

There are some of you who may be offering roomsharing who have gender-nonspecific nicknames. Now, i know many people might know your gender, but please, let us know.

I guess I'll toss my hat into the ring too. I've got to wait on word from the wife (final authority) on whether or not I absolutely need a roommate, but thought I'd get some feelers out there.

I'm 30 year old male - nonsmoker. Thursday I've got a few things I need to get done, but the most part I'm going to be following the crowd so my in-room schedule will be the same as the majority. I do a lot of rooming with folks due to be in the air guard. I'm fairly laid back, and will likely be on the internet handling business when I am in the room.

I can handle a good majority of people, as long as they're not having sex in the other bed - taking care of themselves in that fashion in the other bed (or mine) - and stay out of my stuff... and yes I've dealt with all of that stuff before. (now to go post on the wiki)

Guess I'd best post in here. Unfortunately, in terms of planning I'm the roomie from hell Very Happy

1) Since I'm from England, contacting the hotel is difficult at best for me, so I'd need someone else to book :/
2) Since I'm from England, I was planning to spend about a week over there, either tuesday-to-tuesday, wednesday-to-wednesday or thursday-to-thursday

In terms of being a roomie, I'm not so bad. I don't snore, I'm not bringing a significant other along, and I can hold off on... "relieving myself" for the week. I don't smoke, but I don't mind if my roomie wants to so long as they can keep to the window while they do so.

Oh, and I'm male, and don't mind if I'm rooming with guys or gals.

Just FYI, if it helps with the roommate matching, all the rooms at the Radisson are non-smoking.

I need a roomie (or two, three, four...) as well! I am a 26 year old female but I will room with any gender! I will be there Friday night and Saturday night. I'm pretty laid back and opened minded so I get along with most types. I also have the ability to be incredibly quiet if I come in late and someone is sleeping. I'll post this on the Wiki as well!

Yes Will, quite.

Can someone post if they know of a good place to find cheap tickets! Right now Expedia has tickets from Los Angeles to Boston at almost $400!! I'd like to spend less if I can.

Or, you could kill two birds with one stone and buy a ten-speed bicycle and leave a month early. Saves money and you get a great workout.

Ooh...good idea. If I did that I would have the nicest rear-end anyone has ever seen.

Flight Info

Again, I point the masses to matrix.itasoftware.com. The back engine for sites like Orbitz.

Disclaimer: Hubby works there. (It's still a damn fine airfare search tool.)
