Can someone room with me at AWA?

Postby Dannywilson » Wed Sep 11, 2002 7:38 pm

I really want to go to AWA, but I can't get anyone locally to go with me... the person I was supposed to go with dropped out on me at the last minute due to family problems. The problem is, I can't afford $100 a night. Is there anyone who would be willing to share their room, or room with me? I'm willing to pay up to $65 dollars per night. I'll probably be flying in at like 7-10 pm. PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN!!

Wrong forum, this should be in "Convention Exchange."

Hey, since the Convention Exchange forum is dead, my question still stands... It's either I don't go to AWA, or I go if I can find someone to room with... I'm even willing to sleep on the floor if I can get there... someone? anyone? I'm not a 300 pound otaku if you're wondering... I'm active duty military, so I'm in good shape, and don't smell... please, if you can help me, please PM or AIM me...

i would help but i am most likely going to be staying at an aunt's house and both her and my mother wouldn't like me asking if a practically complete stranger could stay with us. Especially military. They really fucked my brother up. o.O

That forum's dead because nobody has any response, not because they're ignoring the thread. Please keep threads to the correct forum.

I understand that, I just feel that there might be too many forums... Overkill if you will. I can understand the need for 3 Off Topic B.S. forums, because of the severe amount of spam in them, but seriously, I didn't even realize there was a "Convention Exchange" forum, until you told me about it. I respect the fact that you are willing to police the forums like this, but micro-management of a small forum like this isn't necessary. I wouldn't have posted this in General AMV, but this forum is extremely close in topic to "Convention Exchange", but recieves far more notice. My topic in this forum has 84 hits, whereas my topic in the other one has 15 at last count. I did this out of necessity rather than convenience or lazyness. I apologize if I offended you in any way by this post, I only mean to explain my actions, not try to excuse them.

This thread has more hits because it has more posts so every time you post a message to it someone reads it again.

Yes. And now this thread has still one more hit and post, yet it does nothing to further your goal. Do you understand?

There are mods on this site, and you're not one of them. Do you understand?
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

In all honesty, I understand why you want to post here, DannyWilson. It's been said before that the Convention Exchange Forum really is of no use because people who have never met tend to be weary of other people sharing a room with them, riding in their car, etc. But I also see jbone's point: This is in the wrong forum. Unfortunately, the responses in this forum most likely wouldn't be any different that a response you'd get in the Convention Exchange Forum. It may be too late, but I'd reccomend bring a friend so that:
1.) You'd be able to hang out at AWA with someone you know personally.
2.) You'd ba able to room/travel together and cut costs on gas/board.

I've never claimed to be.

I see your point Rozard and boy do I ever hear you on that, but the TWO people who were going to go with me to cut costs, both cancelled on me yesterday morning during TWO seperate encounters. If I dont get a response from my last contact by 8 tonight, I'm calling the whole thing a bust, and waiting for next year. Oh well, call it bad luck or whatever, but it might just be fated like this.... heh.
