Looking for Roommates

Name: Darnell
Hotel Area/Name of Hotel: No specific hotel picked out yet but I was looking at some in Brooklyn since they're like half the price of the Manhattan hotels. I went to school in Brooklyn for 2 years so I know some areas pretty well (it took about half an hour on subway to get to the con in previous years)
Days: Ideally checking in on Wednesday night and checking out Sunday before the con, or possibly Monday morning if need be
Price Per Night: Nothing picked out yet but probably somewhere in the $100-150 per night range.
Smoking/Drinking: Drinking yes, Smoking no
Spaces: Right now it's just me and a friend so ideally 2-4 more people

Preferences and Description

Age Preference of Roommates:
18+
Gender Preference of Roommates: Co-Ed (I'm male and my friend is female)
Include a brief description about yourself: I'm an aspiring comic book artist. I'm pretty easy going. I may cosplay a couple days if I can afford to put together a costume. I don't think I'll need too much space in the room. I'm not really bringing a whole lot and don't think I'll be buying a crazy amount of stuff or anything too big.
Additional preferences for roommates:Don't want anyone who's too messy(at least not to the point where your stuff is all over the room; if you can contain your mess in your own area that's fine by me) and would prefer people who don't go to sleep too early(like before midnight). Other than that I think I'm pretty open for whoever.

Also open to joining a room if that works out better.

**So, my plans fell through this year and I have to figure out new travel arrangements. I bought two 4-day passes then my friend cancelled on me, so I have an extra pass. I was thinking maybe I could use this to barter for a room. I could sell it on ebay and use the cash for hotel costs but I figure maybe someone wants to trade a spot in their room for my extra pass. PM me if interested.**

Include a brief description about yourself: I am a cosplayer, so I will have costumes and props, but nothing big or crazy. 4th time going to NYYC and it gets better every year.

one of the things that makes this forum so fun is the 'fans helping fans' feeling.  To promote this we, the mod. team ask folks to not suggest or talk about profiteering on ebay. In addition the suggestion of selling a tix at above cost is actively tracked down by Reed Pop.

^^All that said, i hope everyone has/or will find a place to sleep! I was able to pick up a place in Union City, nj, a 10 min buss ride into PA, if a hotel in Manhattan doesn't happen.
