Where to stay for posi #s?

Ungodly - 7-5-2005 at 10:14 AM

I'm having trouble deciding... I'm 34 and hang out with much younger people but sometimes I'm just not amused or just want to go to bed. Last year I only went for one night and sponged off of friends at the Red Roof. It was insane. It was partly fun and partly idiotic and I had to get up at 7 to get to NY for my brother's birthday and drive on almost no sleep.

My original idea this year was to have a quiet little sanctuary for myself, so that I could escape when I wanted to and get some good sleep, in a non-hangout hotel. Maybe with a pool and a gym. But I'm looking now and those types of places are almost double the price, and I know I'll be hanging out a good amount, so it will be a hassle if my hotel is far away from the other ones.

Should I just get my own room at the party hotel and bring fan to drown out the noise when I get cranky and want to sleep?

you should find a nice B&B to stay at. that would be hilarious.

SAAAAARS - 7-5-2005 at 01:34 PM

i'm not really sure what to tell you. i'm young and i still don't want to be in all of the hanging out all the time. i would love to actually sleep while i am down there. not a lot, but i need a few hours because of medical crap. beggers can't be chosers though, i'm doing the hotel floor crashing thing. i'm not even buying my own room because i am taking a bus and a hotel room is too much cash. so i'll be happy with whatever i get.

that said, if you know anyone who wants two girls who aren't shitty to sleep on their floors and probably use their showers, let me know haha

moron - 7-5-2005 at 03:43 PM

Im pretty sure I can go to this. I really dont wanna stay overnight though.

BDx13 - 7-5-2005 at 03:49 PM

is there a website for this event yet?

moron - 7-5-2005 at 04:23 PM

Not that I can find. Walk all night still owes me a few records from fuck knows when and they never update their website. The guy who runs that label is the one who puts on Posi Numbers Fest from what I understand.

I think the Red Roof IS Wilkes-Barre's version of a B&B...

well, i'm not officially promising space in my room until the day of, b/c alot of my friends are going down with no intention of booking a room, and i need to preserve the whole sanctuary idea, but it's a possibility if you are stuck. shower, definitely. we should trade contact info before then.

SAAAAARS - 7-5-2005 at 11:04 PM

you are very kind!!!! i will buy you a meal or something haha

No problemo.

Mary=nicest person

Moron-the site is www.myspace.com/posifest i believe. Yeah it's the same dude who does walk all night. From what i hear he sucks terribly at running a label. If you're waiting on that Think I Care record i think you should have it by now..or very soon.

Last year i fell asleep right after day two and wasn't fucked with at all so it shouldn't be so bad for you guys who want to avoid partying all night.

Thanks for the link. I'll check that out. As for WAN... I hope I get the records soon. I ordered the Think I Care, Cold War (I think) and Final Word records. If I never get them... fine. I just wont order from them anymore.

KyleOz - 7-7-2005 at 07:48 PM

We will hang in the Circle of Sketch. Unless I get excommunicated because, really, I am not Circle of Skecth material at all. I am more like a Friend of Sketch.

Thats Life - 7-8-2005 at 09:40 AM

Kyle i wanna see you there.

Mary, explain said circle of sketch?

I hope i remember posi #'s. I leave from their for tour too..gonna be a great week and a half.

The nucleus of the COS is roughly Jarrod, Jimmy, Jason Curran, Rory, Joehawk, and Pearse, but almost all are welcome. Basic tenets, that I know of:

-Drink outside and revel in the irony of seeing little to none of the show
-Sit in lawn chairs or on car bumpers engaging in GZ-style repartee that ranges from the awesome and hilarious to catty-gossipy (for some)
-In no way even think about arranging accomodations
-Welcome very questionable strangers either from Wilkes-Barre or attending the fest into the circle, to amuse you with quasi-racism or other taboo unethicals. Either they turn out to be cooler than you thought or you tire of them and hope they go away and stop drinking your beer
-Enjoy a trunkful of snacks lovingly provided by Mrs. Curran, even though she does not attend
-Tear it up at the Red Roof: Modeling of female xFilesx booty shorts by otherwise naked males optional
-Sleep only the bare amount necessitated by very excessive alcohol consumption

You can see little of this would be me. But it's fun to go along for the ride between bands I like and in the off hours.

Thats Life - 7-8-2005 at 11:35 AM

yeah..seems right up my alley. Chances are i'll just pass out in the albany "girl room" and piss them all off.

FUCKING MURPHYS LAW!

KyleOz - 7-11-2005 at 04:46 PM

Hey are Moron, are you still going to to this? If so any extra seats left in your car and what are your lodging plans.

Thanks

moron - 7-11-2005 at 04:55 PM

I have no idea about lodging plans, but I'd still like to go and as far as I can tell Im still able to go. What time does the show start on Friday? My assumption is that I'll miss most of that day.

moron - 7-11-2005 at 05:38 PM

you still down for this Duane, or is is just me and Oz?

BDx13 - 7-11-2005 at 10:33 PM

i'd like to go. is there a per-day schedule? i really only need to invest one day.

SAAAAARS - 7-11-2005 at 10:55 PM

its only 45 for all days......don't be a cheapie!

p.s. everyone keep me in mind when you're sleeping in a nice bed and i'm trying to find somewhere to stay hahahah

Thats Life - 7-12-2005 at 08:09 AM

i know that murphys law are playing friday, Underdog on saturday and Killing Time and 86 Mentality are sunday.

Ungodly - 7-12-2005 at 09:32 AM

Two weeks!!

bystanderfanzine.com - 7-12-2005 at 09:33 AM

Mary, your basically explaining why I didn't go last year.

I am usually ready for bed by 11, and not down for the whackyness of my younger friends.

Thats Life - 7-12-2005 at 09:44 AM

between this and tour that week is going to be the death of me.

Yup, I guess I am trying to replicate my real life balance here in Boston- hang out, have some fun, laugh at the Shenanahanigans, etc., then when I've had enough, realize I don't want to sleep through the entire next day, or we go to some awful party, I can peace.

Thats Life - 7-12-2005 at 10:04 AM

i really hope i dont pass out saturday night like i did last year. I missed out on so much fun.

I have a strange feeling the red dog will run wild all weekend.

Ungodly - 7-12-2005 at 10:27 AM

Those kids have been doing this obliviously drunk for days at a time thing lately... I can only imagine.

yeah i tend to not party on weeknights. I've got my love for alcohol under control. Wasn't drunk once last weekend. Kinda proud of myself.

Good for you. I used to quit for a month or two every once in a while to keep my tolerance down and prove I could do it.

FYI, I have booked my oasis of mature peace at the Econolodge. 1 1/2 mi. away from the Red Roof, a good compromise.

KyleOz - 7-12-2005 at 10:22 PM

How are the rates at the econolodge, reasonable?

Ungodly - 7-13-2005 at 12:13 AM

Next cheapest after the Red Roof, the Red Roof, the Red Roof is on fire!

I used cheaptickets.com.

We should make the 2nd floor of the Econolodge the geriatric ward.
