    Yes. Micah and I are planning to live in luxury and have a room to ourselves. We do have room to transport people if there is a need for that.

    Kristen and I got a hotel right on the KOP mall. We will be there all 4 days. We don’t have room for anyone in our room but we have 2 seats in my car if anyone needs to carpool.

    See?! This is all we need – information! We never want to strongarm people into sharing rooms or rides, but we also don’t want to pay for rooms we don’t need. Thanks for the responses, @rbeideman / @zemata!

    Ha this made me bust out laughing. Susie won’t be at PBF, but we’ve already decided that that’s gonna be our attitude at BrickFair for anybody else going – ‘screw you guys, get your own room.’

    In college, I had friends Jon and Devon in the room across the hall from me. Devon had to take a semester off, so Jon had the room to himself for the spring. One night, he said, “Don’t get me wrong – I like Devon… but I like no Devon better!” I feel the same about yinz’all – sharing rooms can be fun, but having a whole hotel room to yourself (or yourself and your significant other, if you’re into that sort of thing) is a special kind of treat. The only reason I even ask who wants to double/triple/quadruple up in the rooms is because I know money is tight for some people and we want to provide options to make the trip cheaper where possible.

    For some reason, when I booked the room, the two double bed rooms were more points than the King room. So I took the one with the least amount of points.

    Fair enough.

    Anyway, with all this info, I’ve just revised the spreadsheet again. We seem to have no shortage of drivers, such that a few who have volunteered to drive might even consider just hopping in elsewhere to save on gas money. I’ll go ahead and get us one more room at whichever hotel currently seems best (if cost is similar, I’m going with closest to the convention; otherwise, it’ll be the one with the PBF rate.) And that’ll mean we’ll have 6 rooms total, with either 2 or 3 people per room. Paula + Laura, Rick + Micah, Evan + Kristen, Tim +1, and two more rooms for the rest of the guys – doesn’t really matter who goes where between Tim’s room and the other two, we can sort that out – I just wanna make sure we’re all covered and nobody’s sleeping under the MOC tables.
