podficationFor folks not in easy driving distance of the Twin Cities, you can use this post to find roommates to share a hotel room with or connect up with some of the 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.
Note: 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 chime in! Any space available at an individual's home is at their discretion, of course.

Re: Coordinating hotels
Date: 2016-04-20 04:45 am (UTC)Because I'd be so close, I have a full size (I think??) air mattress it'd be super easy to get to you guys to use if needed. Also, if people need to stash luggage at my place on Sunday, they'd be welcome to.
I also have a car, which can be taken (either by me or someone else) to make runs to the Target & 24 hour grocery store like 5 minutes up the road, or the liquor store (about 10 minutes in the other direction).
Since there would be at least 4 people here, and me + the 2 people staying with me (and my fannish, podficcing roommate) like 5 blocks away, while it's not quite the "all in the same hotel" feel, it would indeed be a critical mass of fangirls all in a relatively small--certainly walkable--area.
