I can't imagine our area without something like AirBnB. Out of curiosity I checked my city, which isn't that big. It just says 1000+ listings, so I don't know how many. I haven't heard any complaints from the hotels, or taxing authorities, but then again I avoid local news like the plague. It has always been such a part of life in a big resort area that it just seemed normal to me.
eta: looking closer they don't just include my city, but the whole area pretty much
I will be in RI for my 10 year college reunion (note: this means that the DC F2F was 10 years ago. You're welcome), and then in NYC starting late Sunday for a few days.
It's all very free-form (apart from Official University Events), so, yeah, I'd love to see people as availability allows.
Where are you staying in NYC?
Tom, crashing with Trudy.
sj, yup.
We have a wedding all day Saturday. We could possibly do something on Sunday if you're not leaving for NY too early.
Coolcool. Lunchish, maybe? Do you have my phone number?
Lunchish sounds good. We're staying in Narragansett on Sunday, but we can meet you in Providence. I don't have your number.
I'll be available all day Monday.
I'll be heading toward Wilton (free parking and MetroNorth), so I can come to you, as well.
My number is in my profile now.
eta: Scola, excellent!
