Anthrocon - seeking extra roomies to split the room cost
12 years ago
Hey all! Quick Anthrocon update....
The convention is coming up soon. I and my other roomies are still lined up to attend, but I'm facing a bit of a situation. My other two roomies won't be able to stay the entire time; Thursday night and Sunday night, I'll have the room all to myself, which means I'll pay full price for two nights (and be lonely during those times, too :p ). So, I've come to ask if anyone here is looking for a room on those nights or the entire convention period.
I have a double-bed room at the Westin, right in the middle of the action. Before I go further, I'd like to mention that I would prefer to stay with people I know or have personally met (I tend to be wary of strangers). I usually head to bed at around midnight and get up early to grab a decent spot in the Den (like 7am early). With that in mind, I'd like a quiet place I can relax without any stress or drama. A fox needs a den, y'know? I don't smoke or drink, and while I'm fine with roomies drinking alcohol (at long as they're over 21), I'd like to remind everyone that moderation is a virtue. And... this should go without saying, but no drugs whatsoever.
If you're interested, please Note me about it (Notes are easier to keep track of than comments, so please use them instead of commenting below). I'm not sure how many responses I'll get, so I can't guarantee the room will stay open, but if you need a place to crash and we've met before, why not go for it?

Well, I guess you would not want me in your room. Maybe we can watch a movie or something.

Are you still in search for roommates? I'll continue linking your journal until you are set.

Hey Aelius, I was wondering something, who else do you know is going to anthrocon?

There are quite a few, though it depends on who you're looking for Who did you have in mind?

ws235
~ws235
Just name them. And I'll tell you if I know them.

Er, well there are a bit too many to list. I wouldn't know where to start. If you're curious about artists though, you could check out the Dealers List on the Anthrocon home page.

The reason I ask is because my mother is probably not going to let come if I only know that you're going. and since that is probably true, So in reality, since it's a treck to get there, and it's a busy weekend, In all likelihood, I may not be able to go.

Erf, that sounds rough. Well, off the top of my head I can mainly think of artists, so you could start with the Dealer List or even the Alley List once they post that on the site.

Do you think you will be at any other conventions this year? What other ones do you plan to get to?

If I can save up properly, I plan to attend Midwest FurFest this year.

Sorry about that, though you could check the Anthrocon forums. There are portions specifically for room shares.
