as some of you may know, i am going on a roadtrip next summer
i plan to go up into colorado, to LA, San Francisco, portland, seattle, in that order. after that it gets tricky. I need to structure the rest of my trip around chicagocon basically. it would make the most sense driving wise to do everything from west to east, so i would visit toronto, new york city, and massachusetts post-chicago then return home after that.
I will probably throw up dates for my trip within the next month, so i ask now: may i stay with you?
this is really loose and vague, i know, details will be worked out soon. so if you want to hang out and let me plus one to two other people you don't know but i can guarantee are excellent stay with you, or only hang out, or just stay with you, hit me up! i can do my own laundry, girls say i smell nice, i clean out the tub post shower, use my own toilet paper, and frighten small children so if any of these skills are useful to you let me know.
thanks guys, this upcoming trip is the only thing keeping me sane basically.

I'd invite you to come stay, if you're hitting up Northern Colorado, but I am living with my parents at the present time. Depending on when you come around I may have my own place.
-
i do not know whether or not i will be in guelph or toronto next summer, it depends where i find a job first. guelph is about a 45 minute drive from toronto but if that's where i'll be living, i would be totally okay with people staying with me. if i am in toronto, i will unfortunately probably be living with my parents and they are actually insane so i won't be able to accommodate anyone. kind of an unhelpful post, i know. hopefully i'll have a better handle on my future living situation in the next couple of months or so.
-
I'm pretty sure you won't want to come to the happenin' town of Fond du Lac any time soon
-
I am basically in the same boat as Tania except remove the possibility of me living in Toronto and replace 'guelph' with 'waterloo' and '45 minute drive to toronto' with 'hour drive to toronto' and get rid of the boobs.
-
Yeah, listen to Jens and come visit us in Norway. Just remember to bring some fierce oars, it's a long way to paddle. Oh, and I hope your car floats.
-
I'd have to see how cool my mom is with internet folks but otherwise you're welcome to stay with me in New York. You may have to pretend you used to go to my school and then moved to Austin or something. I live in Queens which is a 35-60 minute subway ride from anything fun but still considered part of metropolitan NYC.
The chances of me making it to Chicagocon are pretty slim so I'd be pretty stoked if you decided to come here.
-
Dearest Sam,
Apparently I have been ordered to attend Edithcon before Chicago, and so I guess the vague idea is I trip around with you till Fargo, then carry on with Liz to Eed. Or something like that!
They know more than me, but let me know when you work out where you will pick me up, and I will book my flights! EXCITING
Love Jodie
-
I don't know what I would be able to provide in terms of housing, considering I live between Boston and NYC, but I would be down for hangouts locally. Once I know more about when and where I will be, I can give better answers.
-
Jodie that is pretty much right on.
Sam you need to make this work out, my entire happiness depends on it.

I'm in San Luis Obispo, which is about halfway between San Francisco and LA. You can do the LA to San Francisco drive in one day, but it's long-ish, and if you go up I-5 it's super-boring and smells like cow shit. Going up the 101, which you'd need to do to spend a night here, takes another hour or two overall, but the drive up the coast is gorgeous (and smells like ocean and garlic).
We have one extra bed and plenty of floor space. I'd have to double-check with my boyfriend, but he's generally pretty down with people from the internet and inviting strangers into our house, so I can't imagine that he'd complain.
-
Sam, you need to somehow chronicle your adventures so that Gilead can immortalize them in comic form.
-
First he needs to grow a bitchin moustache, though
-
Yeah Sam I was going to say that on your way to SF from LA stop by Bakersfield! but uh no you don't want to do that. I'm not even worth stopping by this miserable place. So do what Elizzybeth said, 101 would be so much more fun.
And if this is in the summer maybe I'll just go to LA myself
-
Sam, if you spend a night in Arizona I can get you a cheap hotel room.
Just saying.
-
Anna you are totally worth visiting a hole in SoCal!
-
Take the ferry to Sitka, Alaska if you're able to get up that far (preferably anytime after June). My lady and I will have a couch you can crash on. It's actually clean and stuff, and we'll let you raid the fridge assuming you let us know when we're out of something, heh.

This. Do this.

Us Peacocks stick to usselves.
(no really we have Philly you can run up the stairs while singing the rocky theme)
-
dear sam,
i am an hour and a half or so from san francisco and you are welcome to stay at my place for a bit. pm me if you are interested in pursuing this possibility.
best regards,
yelley
-
I'm pretty sure Miss Liz has it handled, but you're more than welcome to stay at my house if you'd like. It is pretty big, I think. And I think it'd be pretty close to on the way to Chicago... I know a lot of the bands we get here we get because we're a day's drive from the Cities and on the way to Seattle.
-
sam, try to fit in a detour to sydney please.
-
If you can make it to western Mass, I'll give you a couch. Or some floor in my room. Either or. We got a new couch and it's not as comfy to sleep on as the old one was.
-
If you're worried that Western MA is as boring as it sounds (It is), I can probably offer some couch space in Cambridge.
-
Hey, Western Mass has...
ummm...
....
-
Trees.
-
Guitars that Shane can't afford.
-
A gaping void where women would normally be.
-
Well gosh, Sam, I guess you can stay with me in Colorado for a little bit. Or as long as you want. I'll probably have class, and you should make sure I'm actually in Colorado, but you know how we do. I will present you to the prettiest ladies, and not even tell them you're 17.
-
If you happen to dip a bit more southern towards DC, my spare room and couch and/or air bed are available for you and your friends to battle over. I cannot promise you a huge happenin' good time though, because I am not really the partying sort, but there's shit to do and a bed if you need it here.
-
You, me, Graceland. That's all I'm sayin'.
-
Sam I want you to be very careful in travelling around the country with Jodie because the fact remains that you will be traveling with a saucy older foreign woman who wants to jump your bones
Wait that sounds like the best road trip ever, forget I said anything
Still, don't get murdered though, hoss.
-
Man, I will just see you at Chicagocon
-
I will not. Shane, Rachel and I will NOT be at Chicagocon, so I'd advise taking that into account when plotting your trip if you'd like to meet any of us at any point.
-
That doesn't sound like me at all.
Sam, if you don't visit us, you suck.
I ALWAYS use punctuation.
-
you're welcome to stay with me in New York
The chances of me making it to Chicagocon are pretty slim so I'd be pretty stoked if you decided to come here.
okay i think that covers everyone so far! thanks a lot guys
-
You're welcome to stay with me if it works out for you to come through, although probably not while my apartment is completely full of brits, norwegians, australians, and fargolites. But I figured it is probably not really on the way so much?
-
Depending on when you go I might be taking summer school, so maybe you can hang out in Oakland with meeee
-
which way are you heading after Seattle? do you know?
i live about an hour and a half north of Seattle, and while i don't really have a place for any people to stay, i'd be down to hang out. i could take you to some sweet mountains/forests (http://a67.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/124/l_a8c2b9a4e87d49391f0e477914086d0a.jpg) and whathaveyou.
usually visiting these places involves smoking alot of weed and taking pictures of stuff; don't know if you're into that kind of thing.
-
I may have over-thought that. It definitely wouldn't be a big deal if I told the truth.
-
Hey Sam I can't put you up but if you stay with Manda we can do cool things in DC perhaps.
-
A gaping void where women would normally be.
That one.
