Hotels

Brass Monkey

Another stopid thread started by the monkey to find out stuff everyone might know, again i know seattle like i know how to please a woman. Now i was wonder a few things, where should i look for hotels for the convention, do they have specific ones that they speak to about having people from the conention stay in or is it just like we find random ones to stay in.

Also i was wondering what is about the average price i should expect to pay per night for a hotel room, either with another person or by myself. I don't want to pay 400$ a night for champaign and high-class porn videos, but again i don't want to pay 15$ to have a hobo anal rape me every 1/2 hour.

Again thanks to all the helpfull people on the forum and if this thread has been posted like 5000 times before please direct me to the proper place to go.

Wait until the PAX site goes up. There will be deals at the Bellevue Doubletree that will be very nice. That hotel is like...a block away from PAX and is where mostly everyone is going to be.

You can also go to the other ones in the area(Ramada...a few others I can't remember right now), but that one is where all the parties and stuff will probably be. And there are going to be nice rates, even better than last year(which were $79/night), supposedly.

The Bellevue Lodge is a syphilis-ridden rathole. Stay away from it.

now see i already have syphollis so i find no problem in staying in there, i am just worried about the clap, i don't want that unless it is from a hooker .

P.S. i want to stay in a room with Red Machine D, just in case he pulls another famous Dance Dance break your ankle.

You didnt even stay there, I did. It was fine, cheap, and the closest place to the convention center..

I noticed that there were some cheapie charlie motels that practically shared parking lot space with the maidenbour(sp?)

But yeah, the way to go, ESPECIALLY if you are planning ahead is the doubletree.

On a personal note, when I was a child I went to comic conventions but I didn't really apreciate it because all my friends talked about comics and stuff. When I went to PAX it was a completely new experiance, to be surrounded, as an adult, by other adults who shared the same passions and interests and sometimes sence of humor and commonknowledge.

And then there was more then the simmilarities betwean us, it was the differences that really made me feel at home (come from a multi-culteral family) it was pretty white-bread, and very much a sausage fest most of the time, but the little diversity that I did see there was awsome.

And if you want to get THE WHOLE EXPERIANCE, you're going to want to be as close to the Doubletree as possible. If only for boose.

Booze.

And you'll be drinking in your hotel room, not at PAX. PAX isn't 24 hours anymore either...And you'll have to hunt down a liquor store if you don't want anything other than beer...

Unless you're talking about stumbling out of your room in the morning...then...yeah...I guess...

Theres an ampm a short jog over the overpass of the freeway, and they carry a modest selection of the popular stuff. If you're looking for Patron, this may not be your place, however.

And the bellevue lodge was the best rooming decision i ever made.
It was the building behind the meydenbaur! on the same piece of concrete!
From our bathrom we could watch the progress of the mega-line

Hmmm drinking in my hotel room what a stellar idea minus the fact i will be only 19 by the time i go . Hmmm and i dunno DDR + Alchol = what happened to Red Machine D. Plus i not sure they want alchol at PAX, hmmm 1000 nerds arguing about who would win in a fight, superman or the hulk, or even worse arguing about LOTR. :O god help us all

that's the point of closing it out at night to put an emphasis on the room parties at the hotel.

Which allows a little more freadom and the legal responsibility to spread around to others not officially offiliated withPA.

So yeah. Don't worry.
