Looking for 1-2 people that need a room!

Hotel: The San Jose Marriott
Dates: Friday (05/25) through Sunday (05/28) - 3 nights
Rate: originally about $105 but at this point I'm willing to listen to good offers
Spaces Available: 1-2
Room Type:  Non-smoking 2 person quad - double bed
Email: [email protected]

About me: My name is Hamlet and I like anime. No really. I have an eclectic collection of interests - from sports, video games and martial arts to big data, linear regression, and the flailing Eurozone economy - but one of my first loves was anime. I've been reading manga and watching anime since I was about 5 and I've probably read/watched and forgotten the names and plots of more manga/anime than most of you will have seen. This will be my 3rd Fanime in a row. In real life, I work as an Intelligence Analyst at a startup in San Francisco. We're building a global intelligence platform. And yes, it is as cool as it sounds. 

The situation: So 3 of my friends and I decided a long time ago to get a room near the SJ Convention Center for Fanime. But friend A is going with his girlfriend to LA this weekend (and didn't tell me until today). And friend B is working all day through the weekend (but will be joining non-con festivities at night). While friend C can only be there Friday and Saturday. Which means plenty of room and not a lot of people...

Requirements: No preference for gender, but you should know that we're mostly guys in the room. I would probably prefer someone 18+, and 21+ even more so because there will most likely be some drinking...probably....but really, I'm not too fussy about roommates (I've lived with tough ones in my day) but the main ask is that you're respectful, talk to us once in a while and don't trash the room (I'd hate to see incidental charges). Yeah, a pretty low bar set there. But I'm a newly-minted black belt, so no funny business  ;)

I'll be likely out and about most of the day time and night time, with short naps here and there and a good night's sleep when I can get it. So the room is just that - a room, a quick place to check in here and there, nap, and shower, etc.

I know it's late in the game, but I figure someone might have had a last minute change of mind and might be in need of a room. Big, big pluses if:
- You can offer more money $$
- You can handle a few drunk and rowdy people
- You clean up after yourself
- You know what an Oxford comma is
- You support any and all of these sports teams: Stanford Cardinal, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Rockets, Arsenal

So I went to my first Fanimecon today and decided on just being there for one day.  But after a fun and fulfilling day, I had a lot of fun at the ballroom dance practices.  My dilemma is that I have a prior engagement during most of the day tomorrow and really won't be able to attend (which is why I thought I'd only buy a one day pass), but I want to and think that I can make the B&W ball tomorrow night.  I was wondering if it was at all possible to get in without a Sunday pass (with a Saturday one) or whether there's a way to get in without paying to get in to the whole convention again.  Thanks in Advance.   :D
