DragonCon 2008

[holdouttrout]

OMG I'm using the rich text editor. Somebody shoot me.

So, because I'm neurotic organized, I'm posting a "Hey, here's a good place to find roommates for DragonCon!" post. Yes, I know it's March.

Anyway, I thought that it would be helpful to have a template for roommate-hunting, and Pepper helped me straighten out a few details. So, if you want to utilize this post, please fill out the following:

<b>Do you have a hotel room reserved?</b>
<b>If so, at which hotel?</b>
<b>Who are your current roommates?</b>
<b>If your room is not as full as you'd like it to be, how many spots are open?</b>
<b>If you have spots, how would you like to be contacted?</b>

<b>If you don't have a room reserved, are you wanting to room with someone else?</b>
<b>Do you have a roommate you are hoping to stay with?</b>

<b>If you don't know yet if you're going, do you want to get in on this later?</b>
<b>If so, when do you think you'll know?</b>

<b>Any other information people ought to know?</b>

<b>Do you want to be on my D*Con filter?</b>

I hope this works out.

Do you have a hotel room reserved? Yes.
If so, at which hotel? Hilton
Who are your current roommates? Pepper
If your room is not as full as you'd like it to be, how many spots are open? 2
If you have spots, how would you like to be contacted? e-mail, private messaging
Any other information people ought to know? People should know Pepper snores (I think she said so, anyway), and I might. I might also actually wear the dress I made in public during the con, but really, there are weirder people there. Oh, and we've reserved the room from Thurs through Monday morning.

I would like to add to this that, when hit with pillows, I stop snoring. And I don't always snore. I've stayed with friends before, and they've not murdered me. Evidently. :)

I think continuing to breathe is a good indicator of survival.

If so, when do you think you'll know? I'm hoping April or May

Hmmmm... We'll see.

[abyssinia4077.livejournal.com]

The ponies were not my fault. I swear.

Ha! that's what you want them to believe. We know the truth. You were down there with the scissors and the nail polish and the hot glue guns and the sequins. I saw you!

Honey - If I *had* made a pony, my Ronon pony would have gone "bow chica bow bow" when you squeezed its belly.

And then would try to lick the Beckett Pony.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

And we all really *would* have died of embarrassment. Which might have been an improvement.

Any other information people ought to know? Um, nothing comes to mind...

Do you want to be on my D*Con filter? You betcha! :p

[stargazercmc.livejournal.com]

Do you want to be on my D*Con filter?

Yes. And I'd love to room with one of you guys, but a) I promised the college roomie we'd half with her, and b) I doubt very seriously y'all would want to room with me *and* D. Um, awkward. :D

Any other information people ought to know? According to surreallis I thrash around a lot. I was lucky she didn't kill me in my sleep.

Do you want to be on my D*Con filter? YES!

[pellucid.livejournal.com]

If you don't know yet if you're going, do you want to get in on this later? maybe? Last year I roomed with Farscape folks, but I'm not sure what their plan is this year. I'm not sure what my plan is this year...

If so, when do you think you'll know? not sure; hopefully sort of soon (like within the next month, maybe?)

Any other information people ought to know? not that I can think of

Do you want to be on my D*Con filter? sure thing! unless I decide not to go, in which case being on it might just make me jealous!

[surreallis.livejournal.com]

Do you have a hotel room reserved? Yes.
If so, at which hotel? The Marriott
Who are your current roommates? Well, this is the thing. That guy who lives in my house that I married wants to go. I've been trying to talk him out of it, because I know he'll be a stick in the mud, and I want to just hang with my friends, but he's being bitchy about it. If he comes, then he'll be my roommate. If I can talk him out of it, I'll have another spot or two open.
If your room is not as full as you'd like it to be, how many spots are open? to be determined.
If you have spots, how would you like to be contacted? I'll advertise on my LJ a few months before DC.


Any other information people ought to know? I don't think so. People have roomed with me before and I don't think they were traumatized or anything.

Do you want to be on my D*Con filter? Yes.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

That guy who lives in my house that I married wants to go.

Bwah! You should just start talking excitedly about all the panels you two can go to...together, and how you're SO EXCITED he wants to make ponies with you and watch tons of fanvids and hang out with squeeing girls until the wee hours of the morning.

*grins*

I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say yes, I'd like to be on the filter. I'm all set, rooming with celestineangel and MO at the Hyatt.
