I'm going this year, I have a hotel room about .85 miles from the convention and nobody but me is staying in it. So I'm looking for people to fill up the room.

If my friends can't make it to AX, is it ok to share the room with me? I just need a place to sleep.

i wish i could go, but ill be stuck in the bay area ( San Jose )

that plus since gas is so darn expensive, and with a gas drinking SUV... the amount of money just to drive down there is enough to buy at least a couple of good box sets from a discount online store...

Have fun down there guys...

and stay up-wind of Man-Faye... ( shudders profusely.... )

Go to their website to find out: http://www.anime-expo.org/index2004.html The prices seem to keep changing and the hotels are selling out fast. Keep in mind that there are seriously 10 or more hotels within easy walking distance from the con that are half that price. Personaly I'm staying at an offsite hotel for 60 bucks a night and having twice as much space and a full kitchen.

my friends and i have been going every year since high school

the most expensive part is transportation (140 for plane ticket)

if you get roomies and share a hotel the cost is quite low(20*3nights)

even now i think if you go to expedia or something and book one of their plans you can get a good deal, off course if you dont opt for an ax hotel you dont get special tickets, but id rather pay 80/nite for a hotel and wait in line instead of 140

Well, turns out I don't work July 2nd or the 5th, so any day of the gathering should be fine for me (provided no last minute crises happen like with Fanime. Didn't arrive 'til Friday night due to costume). Still have to find a way down there though.-_-

I think ill be rooming with Ryuunosuke.  I would love for more fanime people to come down since I dont like driveing alone want to hang out with more local people.  Aya guess we can work something out like meet at Dublin/Pleasanton BART station or something.

Hey Drall, I left a message on your cell. call me tomorrow ok? I guess if more people are going, then we can share gas $ and what not. I'll talk to Ryuunosuke as well. I hope he isn't mad at me for not thanking him on my LJ.

Although I'm fairly certain I AM NOT GOING...

I could help be a possible 'taxi' service to help who ever needs to get from point A to B  ( relatively speaking of course withing the bay area )

but the better organized you guys will be with the trip down... plus the hotel, plus figuring out when to come back... and making sure u all have enough $$$ so that u dont accidentally strand each other down in LA

i wish u guys the best of luck, and the hope you all have fun at AX...

BTW... what the heck is ASUX ????

i dont know what this is... >_<
Title: Anyone from the east bay going to AX?
Post by: drallcome on June 09, 2004, 06:23:17 AM
What is ASUX? Guess you never seen "Fanboy Bebop" at fanime then. "Blood, Bombs, and Boobs, Boobs, Boobs!"  Its a inside joke. Because "This Con BLOWS!!!". hehe



Dont worry about us getting back. Ive got a gas credit card.

Oh only one space left for AX if you want a ride with me.

Still have room for one more drallcome? I can meet up at the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station as well. Just hope there'll still be room for baggage...

BTW, are we gonna share a room or something? If not, that's fine. I'll be more than willing to pay for my share though.

Anyone form the board want to room together? I'm going down there with my boyfriend, we haven't bought a room yet, we don't even know which hotel we're stayign in but we thought it would be fun to share a room and nice to save some money. Also, if anyone still needs a ride down there we have two open seats.
