Pitch your tents now! (the lodging thread)

Hey,

I know a couple people were requesting tent space or have extra tent space or air mattresses or whatevs. Here's a thread to get it figured out.

I have a tent to end all tents, and anyone who needs tent space can get in on this. It is a three ROOM tent. If we use the front room for luggage and cooking and shit, the back two rooms can fit five or six people rather comfortably and seven or eight people snugly. To reduce snore effects, issues with waking one another up, or vomiting on the person next to you, I nominate we cap this tentspace at six or seven... but if you buy a round of drinks, we might be able to squeeze you in.

I'm in on it, CannonFodder is in on it, and if I'm not mistaken, so is Doc.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED that this tent is a relic from the seventies and has no rainfly. But do not cry for us, IC-tina! The tradition in the past is that we run to a general store and grab two or three painter's tarps, and a shit-ton of duct tape and twine. With a little ingeniuity, we can make a SERIOUS fort. It's served me well in torrential downpours before.

In the meantime, if you have a spare air mattress I could borrow, I'd be mighty pleased. I'm all bones - I have no natural cushioning!

    It's proly not a good idea to start staking out tent-space quite yet. Please be patient, and an official thread for lodging requests will appear soon. :)

    I have no problem with figuring it out on the fly. Tent space is first-announced, first-served and I'd rather see a few larger tents filled to their (comfortable) capacity rather than a bunch of one-man monuments.

    Attention tent-sleepers!

    I've got an 8-10 person tent I can bring, but I need some bodies to fill it. If we bring it, it'll be myself, Lynx, Bandrik and BindleStick. We'll need another 4-5 people to get the proper usage out of it.

    If anyone is tentless or planning on bringing a tent but would rather shack with UPS and HOBO, let me know in this thread or via PM. We'll be there Wednesday-Sunday.

    If I can't get enough people to shack with us, we're going to make other arrangements, so let me know and we'll work something out.

    If there is space for said tent, I would be willing to crash there as I am currently tentless.
