I am awesome. You want me in your room, trust me. I have permacasted level 9 "Aura of Good Fucking Times" on myself, and my mere presence will make the party better for you and anyone else in a 50 ft. radius. I don't smoke (but don't mind if you do), I'm clean, responsible, incredibly respectful. I will pay you well in advance, as well as buy you drinks/chip in for gas. I'm pretty much the perfect roommate (and I'm modest too). Oh, and I'm 24.
Best Contact Method: Email at waffleboi9@yahoo.com
To anyone who offers to host me, thanks in advance! I look forward to a great fuckin weekend with you!
Hotel: Condo in Belltown
Total Cost: $270/person if we get 1 person, $200 per if we get 2
Date Arriving: Tuesday, Sep 2nd
Date Leaving: Monday, Sep 7th
Number of Spots Available: 1 or 2
Additional Notes/Requests: We're renting a small condo near Seattle Center (see this link). We plan on rotating between the bed, the couch, and the floor each night. (If you're a married couple you might get the bed if you pay extra I'd have to ask my mates but married couples are usually more sane.) On the days before PAX we plan on seeing some sights around the city and playing video games and board games at the condo. There are buses that go straight to PAX, which are free during the day. We're all 25+ and not crazy. See my sig for pics of us.

Damn, I thought I had a free place to stay with an uncle I have in Seattle, but either he lives too far away from Seattle for it to be practical (as he claims) or relations between us have soured more than I'm aware of. Anyways, I'm coming from NY, and this is my first PAX, and I would be happy to make the hotel share part of the experience!
Date Arriving: 9/3 (evening, in theory)
Date Leaving: 9/7 (morning, in theory)

Additional Notes: These probably go without saying but would prefer bed to the floor, and a hotel relatively close to the event. Am happy to pay cash up front as soon as I arrive, and I assure you I am about as easygoing as they come.

I'm a Canadian, living in the SF Bay Area in Cali. I'm pretty laid back, but excited about PAX. 27, No longer a party animal, so I'd prefer to be with some excited people, but at the same time, be alright with getting sleep too.
Trust me, I'm not a bump on a log, we'll have fun. I'm stuck going alone this year, so it'd be great to hang with some people for good conversation, beers, and just hanging out while at PAX.
Am willing to pay right up front once I arrive. Once I agree, I'm not backing out. I just want to meet up with some good people. Age/gender don't matter to me.
By all means, contact me and we'll chat and work something out. Thanks so much in advance!

Additional Notes/Requests:
Hi everyone. I’m traveling to PAX for the first time this year on a shoestring budget. I found this place through orbitz and it looks like its removed enough from down town (9. something miles) to be a good respite for my 40 year old self, yet close enough to be a cheap, quick cab ride .
I plan on being quite active and out of your hair for the entire week end.
This would probably be a pretty good place for a couple with child seeing as I more than likely wont be back to the room Fri. and Sat. nights ( yes, I’m that confident).
Money isn’t that big a deal. Well work something out when you contact me. I just thought this would be a good way to help some folks or person out.
My Gender: Male
Your Gender: Either
Best Contact Method: PM me through these forums. or email me at drale03@gmail.com
Total Cost: Your total will be $130 (plus a $20 key deposit that will get refunded to you at check-out) for the whole PAX weekend
Date Arriving: Thurs 9/3
Date Leaving: Mon 9/7
Number of Spots Available: 1
Additional Notes/Requests:
I have one bed available in the private 8-bed room my friends and I have booked. GT unfortunately won't let me just open up the bed to normal reservations since we booked it as a private room, so you'll have to contact me if you want the spot. It would suck to have this bed just go empty for the weekend since it looks like the hostel is already fully packed and there are still people wanting to stay here. The room is dorm-style with bunk beds, each bunk has curtains for privacy, and everyone gets their own key and large under-bed locker space. Located a step away from Pike Place Market and an easy 6-block walk to PAX. Contact me if you have any questions!
My Gender: The room currently has three females and four males
Your Gender: Any
Best Contact Method: cafeganesha@gmail.com
All spots have been filled.
