I got my refund check from RI today.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

All I can say is that if people peek, I peek back.
Unless you are swinging from light fixtures, which as you tag says, really makes it fair game.
You mean like inviting people from England, Israel, or even worse, Kentucky that you have never met to come stay in your apartment, or maybe inviting people you've met once to come stay with you in a cabin on an island in a remote part of Maine?
Yeah…when I was in college, I bought a one-way ticket to Texas to meet an online friend and then drive all the way back across the country together to Connecticut. That was in 1994 when online meetings were a rather new thing. Luckily the gods loved me, and although the two of us wanted to kill each other by the end of that trip, we did end up becoming really good friends.
Comparatively speaking, sharing a hotel room really isn’t that big a deal. As long as a cross-country road trip isn't on the agenda, I'm doing way better than last time.
I am being very proud of myself for not succumbing to Only Child Syndrome and wanting my room to be just mine. : ) Kiba – just let me know if you decide you’d like to take me up on the offer. I won’t be offended either way.
Can’t wait to meet you all!

KristinT, if I share the room I'll do my best not to succumb to Oldest Child Syndrome and try to take care of you and get you to do my bidding. (Yes, I do both, ask my sister.)
Transport and money are now the issues.

I had people from Tennessee and DC that I knew only from a music mailing list stay at my house several years ago, while they were in town to attend a concert in Atlanta. Later, the band who were the topic of the aforementioned mailing list stayed over for two nights when they had gigs in Athens and Atlanta. That was fun.

In my experience, only children and oldest children are much the same beast. I think we'll do just fine.
Transport and money are now the issues.
Can't help with the transport, but I've already paid for the hotel room. You would be my guest. Hopefully that will help with the money.
Yay! Hypothetical roommate!

Hahah! You've always wanted to sleep with women, yeah? :) Sure.
Woohoo! Dream come true! So meara and I will be sharing a room with RL and Reema for Saturday night.
I was able to travel through Australia due to the kindness of several Buffistas who'd never met me before. Then there was San Francisco... sigh. And I had Fay to show me around London for my brief layover there! Buffistas--it's the only way to travel.

There is the bonus that there's a readymade Buffista guide somewhere near most any destination in the USA and Canada, and many major cities abroad.

Oh my goodness. On the one hand I'm like "I can't accept that!" On the other, I'm like "I'm a student!" And then I have a third, compromising hand (what? Doesn't everyone have three?) that says "Take her to dinner as a thank you, and accept her hospitality."

Kiba - whatever works for you, but I wasn't expecting help with the room fee anyway, so it's not a problem at all.
I'm gainfully employed with student loans (nearly) paid off. I can afford to be generous. Accept - it will make me happy.
You have three hands? Drat this already committed to someone else thing! ;-)
Also - I'm not coming in until Saturday, so I only have the room booked for Sat and Sun. If you're coming in on Friday, you may need to find a couch to crash on.

I'm not coming in at all yet - still working on that transport thing, which will determine when I'll be coming in. And trying to figure out if I have friends in the area who are non-Buffistas, and I do believe I have one in Arlington with whom I may be able to spend a night if nec.
