The "I need a ride/place to stay" thread

Since people are still trying to figure their ride/sleep situation :P

Um, if someone in/near West Springfield wants to give me a ride there+back on Thursday and Friday it would be greatly appreciated, my mom can give me a ride on Saturday and I can't make it Sunday...

Guys, if you can get a ride to Bowlmanifest there is a very good chance you will be able to stay in someone's room as long as:

A) You have some money.
B) You don't smell like shit.
C) You shower. ;\

^ Wow, and I fit all three criteria!

Seriously though guys, I need a place to stay. Preferably as part of a group of four at the hotel.

kappaiidx · 06-25-2006, 08:25 PM

My room already has six people so it is all booked up.

I'm sure if you're nice to people you will be able to get a room! Just come you'll find somewhere to stay.

I don't need a room, if someone's willing to drive there+back on Thursday and Friday (it's only an hour and a half away)

I think you should all go by the "go for it and hope it works" theory

go there

make friends with someone

ask to crash at hotel

I'm sure most people, realizing the behvaiors/wallets of most bemani people, will be like "oh yeah sure"

I mean, if someone were to ask me for a place to stay and we had room, I would try to make some sort of deal with them. Like, buy everyone breakfast the next morning. Or do something memorable. Or just be generally good company.

Anything like this, I feel, is good compensation. If you are a funny person and make everyone laugh the whole night and create good memories, I think most people will be willing to let money issues slide (unless they are also pretty strapped for cash).

basically, be a cool person to hang out with/talk to if you want to be a successful mooch.

Whoa, six people? Is this at the Colonial? If there's another hotel that allows more than 4 for rooms maybe I could get my friends to go there instead and then I could join them.

Hahaha, you say this as though the hotel knows there's more than four staying there. :P

Heres the deal. The room limit is 4, aslong as they don't know you have more you are fine. Just don't screw up and bring attention to your room and you will be fine. We got awesome prices from them, just don't mess up guys. ;-)

Yeah I'd like to crash somewhere near TGA if possible. sc2970 offered me a place to stay, but an hour to hour and a half drive each way is kind of meh, especially if I drive there to begin with, which I might have to do.

As the one fronting the cash for that room with 6, I can assure you I won't let it be screwed up. It wasn't my intention for 6 either, but Kappa has his ways... >_>

Hi Brent.

We just need to make sure all of us don't go towards the room at the same time. Since you and I are probably going to be the first ones checking in I doubt it will be a big problem, we can just pretend we're helping the other four bring their shit into a new room. :3 Just don't let staff see that 6 people are in one room.

Shade2323 · 06-26-2006, 04:24 PM

gah I'm still trying to figure out who from the break is going and when, because everyone seems to be going different days. I know i'd like to be there at least friday and saturday, preferabbly thursday as well.

I don't know... i'll keep talking to people around here to see who's going. My friend might just drive up with me for a day or two and well... I guess figure it out from there.

Well the four of us that are going on Thursday should be able to get in no problem since there's only four of us. The two people coming Friday-Saturday (Shinigami and Schalgwerk I think) will just have to kind of sneak in and hope that the hotel workers don't realize that they never actually checked into any room.
