Ok, I have gotten requests that the old thread be locked up and a new one be put in place for looking for roommates for fanime 07. This is the new thread. To the people that posted in the original thred for roommates for this year's con, please post them in here. sorry for the inconvenience.

This thread is for looking for roommates for Fanime 07 only. Any other looking for roommates threads for other cons, please post them in the Things In The Universe forum. Thank you.

Mm'kay, we're [me and my friend] looking for a person [or two] who fit into these categories: [strictly, too.]
Female
Staff*
Responsible
Willing to go to a [staff meeting] to meet us
21 or over
Courteous
Sanitary. ><

We are only rooming for one night- either Friday night or Saturday night, we still have to work things out. For the record, if you reply, you will be rooming with [two] 15 year olds. You will have to pay your part. ><
I'm quite uncertain about what will happen, but once I get a response for anyone who wants to, we'll probably figure it out. :]
Please PM me if you're interested. If you don't want to PM me, then you can:
e-mail me at [email protected]
AIM me at koreanchichiri
Gaia Online's PM me at Chiri Kcrinh [I check that every second of every day. o.0]

Most likely, it will cost around $40 with tax included for each person. ^^
We are looking at the Mariott or Hilton for hotel rooms. ^^

[*optional]
P.S. I won't be rooming at Fanime if I don't get a roomie. D: So... respond already. xP

I'm really not trying to sound mean but why do they have to be staff?  and why do they have to be over 21 if your 15?

FYI staff have slightly lower rates for hotel rooms (it's one of the staff perks), at least that's the way it was last year. I assume the same rule will carry over to this year however I haven't heard official word yet...

That's why staffers usually (not always) room together....not to exclude others....but to pay less.  :twisted:

Yep. ^^ That's optional.

However, my mom wants me to room with someone 21 or older because of responsibility issues. We're actually quite mature for our age. ^^

Well, I tried to PM you, but the system kept rejecting my message, so I thought I'd reply here.  

I am an 18 yr old female, non smoker.  Ive been going to anime cons for 6 years now, but this will be my first fanime.  i love doing fun original cosplay, and I can get very hyperactive at conventions, even before i break out the caffeine pills ;)

I think we'd have a fun time being roomies, so if you still have space available, I would love if you considered me. hope to hear from you soon!  Ciao, loves

A spot has opened up yet again in the Marriott Suite.

This is where the party is going to be so please, if you're interested, shoot me a PM!!

Specs/Details:

-Male
-19-21
-Responsible, reasonably mellow
-Enjoys Smash Bros. and other multiplayer games
-Is a sociable person.
- $125 for 3 nights. This is in one of the Marriott suites that I reserved a while back. 40 bucks a night isn't bad now is it?

Hoping to hear from you guys soon!

*delicate cough*

warning! ---> my honest opinion

In all my years of anime fandom I have NEVER known of hotel crash space to be given away like free candy on Halloween. The only way a person gets *free* crash space is:

1) You actually know the person

2) You know somebody who knows somebody...

3) You're staffing for a con that gives crash space to it's staffers

Think of it this way. If you had a hotel room and wanted to give away space, wouldn't you rather give it to somebody you know (like a friend) rather then say....some random person?  :wink:

Quote from: "pockystix"Ok, my friend and I really, really need a room, and like many people, we don't have enough money for a room.

Who are we:

2 Females (16 & 15)
Arrive Friday [late?]afternoon, leave Monday
Tidy and can help cook(?)
Mobile phone accessible

This is actually our Plan B, but if anyone thinks they can help us, you can fire me and email at [email protected]
We prefer mostly female roommates, but I supposed desperate times calls for desperate measures.

P.S. If there's anyone thinking up of any funny business, I am not afraid to defend myself....

Does anyone else see something wrong with this? 2 females, 15 and 16 trying to find a hotel room for free with anyone they can... at an anime convention.

I'm slightly worried about the safty implications of this.... Even with the warning at the bottom...

Uh yeah. Maybe they have money, but just not enough to get one for themselves(not that could get a room for themselves without someone 18 anyway)?

Okay.  So my friend and I have a huge problem on our hands.  We want to go to fanime but there are no hotels in the area available. We've always waited until the week before the con and have always gotten a room.  I don't know what the hell is different this year, but unfortunately it is.

Can anyone help us out?  Details:

-We're both 21
-We Smash
-We can bring probably any video game you've ever heard of if you don't already own it
-We make great roommates, will only contribute to the fun, and know how to have a good time.

And most importantly:

-Name a price, any price, it doesn't matter

We're desperate.  Good things are coming to whoever helps us out.  Dead serious on that one.

Hey guys, so a couple of my roomates dropped out, so, I have room for a couple extra people! Lucky you.

Should be around 60 a person for the whole con, and the only real rule is no being lame. The room is mixed, male and female, and ya... get in touch!

edit: No smoking in the room as pretty much every hotel these days is nonsmoking, but ya...

Post by: veganX on May 23, 2007, 02:54:36 PM
Okay, so this is incredibly down to the wire.

I had roommates, they canceled (we're coming up from an Diego).  So I got more roommates, and they canceled.   I am leaving on a train to Fanime in like 12 hours, and I deserately need roommates.

The hotel reservation is Friday 3:00 PM until Monday at Noon. (three full

nights) It is at the San Jose Hilton.

80 dollars total for staying in the room three nights.

Basically, my friend and I really really laid back. I'm Vegan straightedge so I don't go to conventions to drink or look for girls or anything. My friend drinks but he represents very well, all in all.

Me (Austin): http://www.myspace.com/adrenailine

Him (Mathias): http://www.myspace.com/midusunknown

Anyone interested?  Or know anyone else who is interested?
