    Yes but it is considerably more expensive at this late in the game. Gas would be way cheaper at this point. Thanks for the idea though.

    it may be a little hard to find a ride out of san fran considering a large number of folks are either flying or taking the train, at least if you take the train you can play rockband and fluxx the whole way there

Anywhere we can crash for 1 night would probably work just fine. Also, if anyone could provide us safe transport from Tacoma area to Seattle anytime on Thursday, that would be awesome.

    I don't know if I WANT to share my room yet (it's my friend and I right now), but for possible consideration I'll put it out there to see what kind of response I get!

    HAVE SPACE AVAILABLE:

    Hotel: Sheraton right next to the con center. Club floor means free internet and breakfast and best views!
    Total Cost: $190 per nightx2 = $380 (split between 3 if I decide to select another person) = $126 per person, may charge you less for sleeping on the floor, but it'll be around $100.

    Additional Notes/Requests: It's my friend and I right now, but may be willing to share with one more. If you have a podcast you are doing and wouldn't mind us joining that'd be a plus! I own an indie studio and he's my PR guy.

    I'm a 25 year old dude on a quest for his first PAX.
    Gregarious. Loves good food, good people, good beer, good games and good laughter.
    I have been out of touch with gaming for longer than I care to accept and am looking to have PAX rekindle my passion. Re-me... me, you know?
    Looking for some place downtown and close to the convention center. (see above re: good food/good beer)
    Arriving on the 2nd and leaving on the 5th or 6th

    On kind of a quest to find me on the trip, so I'll be a pretty quiet roommate... really just need a place to rest my weary eyes after a day of hard PAXing.

    On a budget (cost was going to prevent me from going to PAX... have 3day badge, and plane tickets and cannot swing a hotel room this late in the game...)

    contact me at kylelehew@gmail.com if you think you can help a weary, tired worker bee discover the magic of PAX. I want to do this. So badly.

    Kind of a sob story here. I was planning on going to PAX on my own, when my mom had a massive heart attack, she needed triple-bypass surgery and three stents put in. Her insurance is kind of horrible and came up severely short, so I canceled my hotel reservation to get her fixed up. She's okay now, but...yeah. I'm sorry for whining like this.

    HAVE SPACE AVAILABLE:

    I have an entire hotel suite that I will not be using. So if you take this, you take the whole room--Red Lion, two queens. Info as follows.

    RED LION HOTEL
    1415 5th Avenue
    Seattle, WA 98101


    Double Occupancy: Thu Sep 02 - Mon Sep 06, 2010
    09/02 09/03 09/04 09/05 Total
    164.00 164.00 164.00 164.00 $656.00
    Tax Rate: 15.6%
    Deposit: $189.58
    TOTAL w/ TAX: $758.32


    I can cancel this, but it'll cost me a chunk of change, and I'd rather let someone keen have it. I figure we can transfer it by me giving the hotel consent to move it into your name, you calling in to move it onto your credit card, then me confirming that it's been done. That way neither of us has the other's personal information or credit info. Takers?

    Friendly, laid-back gamer girl looking for a room. I went to both PAX Prime and East last year, and both times I arranged room shares through the forums. Both times everything went extremely well, so I guess it's time for another adventure. I'm a nonsmoker, a social drinker, and a veteran con-goer.

    Date Arriving: 9/2

    Your Gender: doesn't matter, but if I'm going to be sharing a bed I'd prefer to share with another girl.
    Best Contact Method: Forum PM

    Additional Notes: I'd strongly prefer the Sheraton, Hyatt, or Roosevelt. Non-smoking is a must. I have minor back problems, so I'd also like some kind of situation where I can have a bed, though I'm open to sharing one. If you're leaving on the 5th but otherwise fit the bill don't hesitate to contact me, I can manage for an extra night.

    Date Arriving: Sept 2nd (Thurs) around noonish
    Date Leaving: Sept 6th (Monday) i am leaving early probably 5am not sure what time my friend whom booked the room is leaving as we have seperate flights

    This will be my first PAX. My friend who encouraged me to come this year isn't going to make it after all, and it was her friend's floor that I was going to be crashing on.

    I'm a friendly and laid-back gamer guy (journalist) looking for share a room with a similar person/people. Groups are probably better since that makes for cheaper lodgings.

    Date Arriving: Probably the 2nd

    Additional Notes: Though Though I'm a journalist I won't have to be working while I'm at the show, thank god, so I'll probably be going to the PAX parties (but not drinking that much, I don't think--i'm a social drinker). I don't smoke and would prefer a non-smoking room if possible. Also I like conversation, so if you're talkative, even better. If you can help me out, please contact me asap.
