Okay, guys.  Need your help here!

cross-gen, remus/hermione, square
I know I'm doing this sorta last minute, but...

Anybody out there going to Azkatraz this summer?

I'm sure of all the HP fans on my f'list, there must be someone going to San Francisco.  And as you may have guessed, I don't have hotel plans yet.  Basically, I'd just really like someone to room with who's not a complete stranger, y'know?  Plus, it'd be really fun to get to know some of you guys better this way.  (If someone has a room but no more free beds... I don't even mind sleeping on the floor if I have to.)

Anyway, please let me know?  I'd be way in your debt. <3

I'll be there, but seeing as how I live in Berkeley, I'm just going to take the subway in each morning instead of getting a hotel.

[ heh, well ]
aw, well. ...at least i'll see you there! <3

that's what i'm doing for leakycon, too. i mean, i don't actually live in [or super close to] boston, but my mom has a few friends who are, like, 20 minutes from the hotel. so one of them is letting me sleep at her place for a few nights. + free food!

don't you mean bart? "subway" makes me think of new york and "metro" makes me think of DC

Bart's the best!

Well, yes, of course, but when I speak to people not from the area, I say "subway" because otherwise they're like, "what's a bart?"

[ pfft, lucky... ]
*snort* my mom actually suggested i ask to stay with you. i had to explain to her that we only met, like, once... and for all you know i could be an axe murderer on the side. lol.

but seriously... i wish i had relatives or close friends in the area. you're totally lucky not to have to worry about that stuff.

I live in Berkley, San Francisco, and Fremont. If you want to know the best places to eat and go, ask me. Please don't go to tourst traps like Pier 39 and Powell... Those places are fun but there are a hundred cooler places like Delores Park and Haight and Asbury.

How do you live in all three places at once?

I have three houses. One near telegraph ave in Berkley. One near golden gate park in SF. And the other by the school for the Deaf in Fremont.

I know a good friend of mine, lizardspots, is going! She's lovely, and I'm sure if you meet up you'll adore her. :D

[ in which supes fears responsibility ]
oh, i'm sure you're right. from what i've seen of her in fandom, she seems like she'd be a cool person to know. ...plus, if she's friends with you, that's already major bonus points in my book. :D

(also also? it's always pretty awesome to meet fellow fanartists.)


you wouldn't happen to know if she needs a roommate, though, would you?

to be honest: this is the first con i've ever gone to (out of, what... five or six now?) where i didn't have close friends who were going, and thus guaranteed hotel arrangements. i'm kinda freaking out right now about having to find a place to stay. >_>

Re: [ in which supes fears responsibility ]
I'm not sure, but I'd think she would have something sorted. I know she knows a lot of folk who are going. But I will email her and ask her, and if she hasn't found a roomie yet, I'll get her to contact you. :)

If it doesn't pan out, I really hope you find somebody to share with. I know what it's like going to cons where you don't know so many people, though I'm certain you'll make some nifty friends at Azkatraz. ♥

Re: [ in which supes fears responsibility ]
Okay, I heard back from Lizard, and she already has roommates sorted out. But she also said there are some good hostels near the con venue, and people like Fiendling are staying at hostels. If you want me to give her your details, maybe you could hook up with Fiend - I'm sure she'd look after you if you're feeling a bit like a fish out of water. Let me know! :)

Re: [ in which supes fears responsibility ]
oh, dude, that'd be awesome of you! i mean, i know there's no guarantee it'll pan out... but still. you're such a sweetheart; thank you! <33

though, huh. i didn't realize Fiendling was even in the fandom still (i mean, i remember being really bummed last year when i found out she'd taken down her art site). though she's definitely someone i'd love to meet. :)




and... *glomps you for good measure*

No problem at all! I'll send her on your LJ name and we can see how it goes. :D

Hey, I'm going, too, but I don't have accommodations settled yet. I might be staying with a friend in Oakland and traveling in every morning, but I'm not sure.

I'll have my son with me, so it's unlikely I could stay at a hostel.

If I *do* manage a room somehow, I'll certainly keep you in mind. And if nothing else, we can totally hang out together!!!

[ oh, cool... ]
thanks! i definitely appreciate the thought. :)

and sure -- i'd love to hang out, either way. i haven't had time to even glance at the programming yet, so i have no idea what i'm going to be doing; but i'd gladly let you know once i figure it out. and you can feel free to do the same.

so happy at least someone i already know it going! :D (it sucks being at these things by yourself.)

Hi Supes :)

I hear from Mosh that you're looking for rooming help.

I'm afraid I don't know anyone who's still looking for a roomie, however you could always stay in one of the hostels near to the con: http://www.sfhostels.com I know that the "downtown" hostel is really nearby.

I know several people are staying in hostels, so chances are, you may meet some fandomers. You can also post to the Azkatraz forums saying you're looking for a roomie, as I know there are still a few people there looking. I think the con hotel itself is fully booked, I'm afraid.

Hope that helps. :)

[ azkatraz stuffs ]
hi... sorry for the super ridiculously late response. i think i was off at leakycon [or busy getting ready for it] when you first left the comment; and then i kinda forgot to check on this thread. *facepalm*

well, anyway -- thanks a lot for the tip! i'll definitely check out that hostel site (tomorrow, i think, since i'm pretty sleepy). hopefully i'll be able to figure out which one is the "downtown" one.

i'm sadly not too great at meeting people -- unless they start talking to me first -- but who knows. like Mosh said, maybe somebody else staying there will decide to take me under their wing. one can always hope. :)

Re: [ azkatraz stuffs ]
No worries about the late reply. I hope you're able to sort out your accommodation soon, as Azkatraz is only 4 weeks away!
