Bostonians!

[feuervogel]

I'm going to be in Boston for ReaderCon (July 14-17), and I will probably need a place to stay Sunday evening before catching Amtrak back to DC. (And likely a ride from scenic Burlington, because it's only vaguely accessible via public transit, but I might be able to bum one.)

The trains that leave Boston that don't mean I have to miss part of the con get me to DC very late, and my sister (whose couch I'm crashing on) would probably object to picking me up around midnight when she has to be at work at 8. So I'm looking at the 9:30 am Monday train to DC (5:30) then back home Tuesday.

My clothes and things will be covered in residual cat hair, since I have cats, if that poses a problem for you.

I have not yet bought tickets, because Amtrak runs specials on certain days of the week up to 5 weeks in advance of travel, and I'm waiting to see if any of these legs go on special. (Not holding my breath though.)

Please let me know if you have a couch I can sleep on and a shower I can use :)

I am happy to loan my couch and shower to a friend.

However, I should warn you that my apartment is *tiny* and you may want to take another offer.

The 350 bus that runs from Alewife to the ReaderCon hotel passes about three blocks from my apartment. I also have a male domestic partner, in case that might upset you!

EDIT: I should also warn you that the only A/C is in the bedroom.

Does it get really hot in your apartment, and are there fans? I may or may not get another offer, but I'll keep you posted :)

I'm sorry, but my place is all booked during that time. Glad to see you have at least one offer, though.

There are fans and we have a second floor apartment.

I understand that my offer is not an amazing one!

I'm from North Carolina. It's currently 90 degrees outside, and it's only 11 am. I'm enjoying the a/c-to-80-degrees in my house after walking half a mile from the yoga studio. I don't remember it being all THAT hot last year up there. As long as there's ventilation, it should work out.

I emailed another person I know in Boston (who doesn't LJ very often), but she hasn't responded yet.

It's OK :) I know a bunch of people up there, but not all of them LJ often, or at all, and some have extenuating circumstances (like rigel is extremely allergic to cats, so my residual cat hair would be bad for her).

We should still hang out at the con! I'll let you know when MaltCon is happening and bring you along :)
