2018 Lodgings Finder Post

[revolutionaryjo]

For folks not in easy driving distance of the Twin Cities, you can use this post to find roommates to share a hotel room/Airbnb with, or connect up with locals who are able to host some attendees for the weekend!

The GPS Community Center is located at 1121 NE Jackson St., Minneapolis MN 55413. There are quite a few hotels in downtown Minneapolis that are an easy bus ride away. Google Maps should be able to give you the logistical lowdown on that, depending on which hotel you're looking up. Metro Transit also has your back for planning your bus route.

Many people in previous years have stayed in groups in Airbnbs near the venue, which has worked out really well, and we highly recommend! While we'll leave actual rental & group organization up to you, we definitely encourage you to use this option. :)

As always: You may be tempted to stay at the University Inn off of 4th St as it's the closest hotel to the center, but trust me and do not do the thing. Maybe something has changed in the last decade since I lived in that area, but I know it as a place to avoid and am thus passing on this important info.

Locals, if you have some guest rooms or couch space you're able to spare, please post to let folks know! Any space available at an individual's home is at their discretion, of course.

#AnimeHouse

[revolutionaryjo]

Hello, friends. It is I. Replying to my own post to kick things off. I have space for one more person who's welcome to stay with me, Rhea314, and (presumably) Opalsong at #AnimeHouse, otherwise known as my home.

My one stipulation is that I know your face in the real world or one of my other roomies can vouch for you.

Upsides of this: Free! My house is pretty nice if I do say so myself. You will also get Freedom Waffles™ at some point.

Downsides: My place is pretty much inaccessible via public transit and about a 20 minute drive from the venue. It also means that you have to keep my hours unless you have a means of transportation of your own, so it's an early drive out to the con each morning and a late drive back.

Let me know if you're interested. I have a futon, air mattress, and large couch to spare!

3 nights

There's room at my airbnb if anyone still needs a place. I'm there for 3 nights.
