hey, I'm 95% sure my Brooklyn apartment will be available for people who want to do NYC the low-budget way after the con. There'll be enough space for an indeterminate single-digit number of people who like sharing to crash, provided they don't mind sleeping on the floor.

I'm in for that.

I was going to get a hotel, but that sounds awfully authentic (and I didn't spend enough time with notJim at the first one). Consider me tempted.

It's not authentic at all, because it won't cost you a shitload of money, which is the quintessence of New York living.

How hard is it to get from Brooklyn to Newark airport?

Jim, you just passed up a perfect opportunity to not have to pay rent for a week.

Cotigo · « **Reply #107 on:** May 18, 2009, 03:28:38 PM »

Rent in the US is generally done by the month instead of by the week as you closer-to-British folks like to do.

This is what is wrong with your society.

I'd guess about 2 hours travel time all told on public transit (which tends to be the best option for getting places). I live very close to a subway station with service to Manhattan, so you take that, transfer at West 4th St, get off at Penn Station, take the train to the airport.

*Nods* Cool, it should be fun. Shoot me a PM when you get on IRC tonight.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #111 on:** May 25, 2009, 07:33:35 PM »

Ok, posted *NEW* Hotel rates.

We need to start working on that, whose rooming with who, etc. In short, the rates have gone down by $10, which should make people satisfied <_<

Cotigo · « **Reply #112 on:** May 26, 2009, 02:55:27 AM »

I do not care, and also do not necessarily need a bed. Put me anywhere, I assume we're not spending too much time at the hotel.

Grefter · « **Reply #113 on:** May 26, 2009, 08:12:45 AM »

I can do a room and also don't need a bed most nights. Especially if someone brings like a sleeping bag or something I can easy use a bath to sleep in (or a floor). Pretty sure Jersey won't be quite as weirdly cold as Pacifica though from memory, so bedding may be optional (That said I did get by with like a towel at Pacifica anyway IIRC).

Meeplelard · « **Reply #114 on:** May 26, 2009, 02:57:31 PM »

Yeah, Jersey summers are more what you'd expect of a summer, as in, its actually warm and such here, so I don't think there's much to worry about in regards to freezing your ass off.

In any event, who rooms with who isn't a big deal to me, I just want to make sure people sort of get the room thing straightened out before its too late. Admittedly, I wouldn't be shocked if "Last Minute" still wasn't too late, but that's an aside! Better safe than sorry.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #115 on:** May 31, 2009, 10:14:48 PM »

-sigh- Thanks to money problems and third parties taking wa~ay too long to actually do anything, I'm gonna have to cancel on this now. :/ Sorry about the delay in giving a definitive answer, and hopefully I'll be there next year instead.

NotMiki · « **Reply #116 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:40:48 PM »

that's a damn shame. well, good luck going forward.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #117 on:** June 10, 2009, 02:11:34 AM »

Ok, has anyone done the room thing yet?

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #118 on:** June 10, 2009, 02:20:26 AM »

And...looks like it's not up yet?

Ok, I'll purchase a room...Friday? Who wants to get in on it with me? 3 more people needed.

Standard w/2 Beds $85.00 USD 85.00 USD

4 people in room. 3 more needed. I have a AAA card, so yay discount. I'll let you know price once confirmed.

superaielman · « **Reply #119 on:** June 10, 2009, 02:10:15 PM »

Sure, I'll bunk with you.

Shale · « **Reply #120 on:** June 10, 2009, 03:23:13 PM »

I'll regret this later, I'm sure.

VySaika · « **Reply #121 on:** June 10, 2009, 04:26:38 PM »

Sadly, don't think I'll be able to swing reserving a room this year, unless 15th of July isn't too late to make the reservation.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #122 on:** June 10, 2009, 04:34:42 PM »

That literally depends if there are rooms left by then or not. Of which I'm sure there's like a 50/50 chance. I don't think there's an actual time limit; seems they let you reserve Hotel Rooms like last minute (as in, a day in advance), so long as they're available.

VySaika · « **Reply #123 on:** June 10, 2009, 04:44:19 PM »

Yeah would prolly be best if someone else could pull the reservation sooner and I'll just pay them for my share of the room when I get there.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #124 on:** June 10, 2009, 06:33:18 PM »

Oh yeah, I should note that I do expect some compensation for Gas, at least among people I'm carpooling. How much...uhh...get back to you, but I do not think this is an unreasonable request so yeah. This is mostly related to the Airport stuff.
