With all of the meets going on, and now with great regularity (awesome to see!), some people are electing to travel long distances to attend. Hotel rooms can drive up the cost of traveling by a large margin, especially in big cities.
I'd like to start a thread where members can post a standing offer for other members to crash on their couches (or even a floor) for a night. This way, members traveling can look up members in the vicinity for a place to sleep. Nothing fancy, or long-term (please no Kato Kaelin's
), and no 'babysitting' necessary. Certainly this is not a contract, or absolute obligation. I think this would eliminate the awkward position of breeching the subject and asking someone for the favor. If you can do it, great. If not, perhaps you can recommend other accomodations in the area.
Just post your city, and/or possibly the name of the largest city nearby, to where someone would probably be traveling. The 'Search' feature here would enable easy lookups. Contact the member by PM, and work out the details.
Perhaps the mods can make this a 'sticky'?
