This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Oh, that's obviously a factor in your decisions as well! I won't be arriving until Friday and departing Monday, so if you planned to stay Thursday night and Monday night you'll have to make other arrangements.

Wha -- who would read my perfectly innocent PSA as having anything to do with sexual partners? I am quite scandalized, I do declare.
I'm not looking for a roomie; I really need somewhere I can go and be by myself at the end of an exhausting day, as days traveling invariably are. I was just all excited about booking the room and wanted to crow.
Happy to hear you're hoping to make RoseCon!!

Why the short stay, if I may ask? I'm kind of hoping to get the most I can out of this trip myself, so naturally that would mean staying as long as possible...

MissKosmic, Friday-Monday would be great for me, and I'd be more than happy to hitch a ride with you, too - I'll be in Portland. So Chrome, I guess it's up to you whether a non-extended trip like that is okay. (Or whether you could find other lodging for the adjoining nights, or something...) If you're in, though, I'd be happy to share a bed.

Yep, it was originally impossible, but like I said in the main thread, I'll be back in the states earlier than expected!

I've booked my flight. It saved me about $150 to extend the trip 1 day on either end, which about covers a room for those 2 nights.
Arrive Seattle 10:20 pm Wed 1-Aug-12
Depart Seattle 7:30 am Tue 7-Aug-12
If anyone else finds themselves staying Wed or Mon night, please let me know? I plan right now on reserving one of the really cheap rooms for those two nights, and the rest of the time I'll be the The Party Room(tm).

I am so psyched that you will not only be here for the whole Con, but also staying in the same suite. YAY!

I'm really looking forward to it! I'll be my first time on the West Coast. Who knows, I may go looking for jobs ;-). I hope to tag along on a lot of events I haven't previously.

Yay! Well it's been confirmed with my job that I have August 2nd - 6th reserved, so I'm still in good shape. I'll hopefully be booking one of the cheap rooms in a couple days. Still trying to figure out transportation for sure.
So excited that I'll get to meet so many of the people I've only known through the filter of cyberfandom.

Chrome: My +1 can't be away from work any longer than Monday, and I can't stretch my budget to include that many days anyway. If that doesn't work for you, please let me know.
Dallbun: I'd be happy to have you as our other roommate, assuming Chrome is amicable to this arrangement. We can pick you up and drop you off in Portland, we're coming from Grants Pass and should arrive in Portland around noon. I'm not sure what time we'll leave Monday, but probably before noon. I'm not quite ready to reserve the rooms, but I'll contact you when I am. If you want to go in ahead of time that will help me immensely.

Alright, so... I don't know if it matters at this point or not, but I'm still more or less fishing for a room. Is there anyone with a single space open looking to book from Thursday through Sunday night? I wouldn't mind leaving Monday, but I'd like to be able to show up early...
Edit: Katz, would you still be willing to drive the likes of me? Also, see above...

Chrome, were you planning to be in the same room with MissKosmic still? That's how it's been looking from this thread.
Offline
Chrome, more than happy to give you a ride. Unfortunately, I'm booked for a double with a friend. If anyone is really desperate, though, I'm bringing up a sleeping bag. Our floor is open season for the poor and the very very drunk.
Offline
That's very generous of you Katz, considering I'm a good 2 hours out of your way (if I remember correctly... you're leaving from Portland, right?) did I point out before that I live in Eugene? I'm not sure if I mentioned it, it's kind of important after all >_>
That said, if this still happens I wouldn't mind crashing on a floor for a night, I can take it :p

We've discussed plans, but it's possible I may find a different group to room with. I'm looking for options as far as potential roommates go, not just jumping headfirst down the first possible path I see. It's not that I have trust issues with anyone here or anything, but before reading Katz's post just now I was being confronted with the issue of my planned schedule not being exactly parallel to Misskosmic's... now it looks like I won't have any problems, but I'm still keeping my eyes out and my ears open, as it were.

Right now my plan is to convince my dad that we should go on vacation in Seattle when Rose Con is going on, because I have no job and no money right now. So, we'll see what happens.

If we make it, those will be the dates we'll be there. We'd be delighted to join you again on Wednesday night and Monday night.
We're also in the market for roommates the other nights. BRV, if you are able to make it, would you be interested in rooming with us? Anybody else?
Offline
Awesome. I contacted the Moore a couple weeks back about it, and will be officially reserving the room Wed/Mon tomorrow. (Basically they said, there shouldn't be any problem, but I should reserve it a couple weeks in advance just in case).
Offline
Hey guys, is anyone looking for a roomie still...? My +1 is now longer plussing, so.
Offline
Sounds like Stormy might still be in the market.
Offline
Indeed, but it would be +2 rather than +1. If you want to room with lex and I, that would be delightful! Let us know asap, ok?

*Hotel Room 1 Acquired*
*It has been placed in Key Items*
Thanks for the hook-ups, you two.

WHOOOOOOO SYORA AND STORMY OHMYGAWOHMYGAW!!!!! Deeee-lighted to see you guys will be joining the clusterfuck convention.
Aaaand I am booked at the Moore and ready, baby. Y'all will love my pet #1 - he's the sweetest badass. I also am acquiring tickets for the Underground Tour and am reserved for Maneki. So yeah, prepare to get sick of my face real fast, because I'll be everywhere.

Sooo Kris (our plus one) is backing out. That means there's now a double bed in the party room. Anyone interested?
...please?
Offline
