    I have a short trip next week and was hoping to find a place to stay near Microsoft headquarters as cheaply as possible.

    Any Seattle Rox fans want to put me up for a night?

    I don't know if any Seattle Rockets fan would be crazy enough to host you if they don't know you...not saying you're a psycho but this is an internet forum after all...

    They may not be. However, I would be willing to settle for a spot in the front yard to set up a sleeping bag. I wouldn't mind a carport if it is raining. ;)

    Unfortunately, the hotels in the area I need to be in are either booked solid or EXPENSIVE.

    I can make do without it since I only need a place to sleep Monday night after I land, but it would be cool to meet a remote Rox fan.

    It is kinda half business half personal. They are reimbursing for the airfare and a place to stay Tuesday night, but I need to find a place to stay for Monday.

    Since you are not picky, what about the YMCA or YWCA? Those places usually have some rooms for rent?

    If he's really not picky just try a homeless shelter. Very cheap.

    Hey Andy,

    If you can email me. I have a friend up there who would probably put you up for a night.

    Later,
    Brock

    You know though, I was planning on a road trip from Houston through the midwest up to New York and back down the east coast through the south - a big circle. My plans changed when a good friend moved to San Francisco and invited me out, so I did the left coast instead of the right.

    However, I mentioned it on here and I had a couch to sleep on, a spare bedroom and even AN ENTIRE APARTMENT IN NYC FOR THE WEEKEND courtesy of ClutchFans folk. I was only short on like two stops and one of them was where a relative lives. :)

    I put up Manny Ramirez for a couple days when he was in Houston without ever meeting him and it worked out great.

    Obviously, you want to have some knowledge of the person - a track record on the BBS - but I thought it was pretty cool.

    While in Seattle, check out the oysters. They have several very salty varieties that are scrumptious. Our gulf oysters taste like mud in comparison. A buddy of mine up there is an oyster connoisseur.

    Isn't the weed in the Pacific NW supposed to be some of the best in the country?

    Just sayin'...
