Announcement

Welcome to the HOPE Forums, also known as talk.hope.net. Since 1994 (the year of the first HOPE conference), we've had nine conferences. This is the place to come up with ideas, make suggestions, and welcome new people.

You'll find sections on just about anything of interest to HOPE attendees. If you think something is missing start a thread in the "General Questions" forum and/or ask people about it. Thanks for participating and see you at HOPE!

Couch + Air mattress + Floor in Brooklyn (one train ride from HOPE)

Alright folks, I have an apartment I pay too much for (in a nice neighborhood) and want to see what kind of interest there would be in offering up some space during the HOPE conference. I would like to give it up for free, but my empty wallet says that charging some $$ will prevent people from wasting my time.

I have a couch, an air mattress, and even some floor space for folks who really want to rough it. I don't plan on setting a hard schedule for the event, so I was thinking that the involved parties could either A. agree on a timeframe to meet back at the apartment, B. agree to respond to return to the apartment within a given timeframe after a text-message from yours truly or (most preferably) C. hang out with my girlfirend and me after the conference. I am also volunteering my services for the conference itself, so I am not sure how that may or may not effect logistics.

For better or worse we will provide:
Use of our Kitchen (fridge, stove, etc) and Bathroom (Clean towels*, TP, etc.)
Wi-fi for semi-legal purposes only
2 asshole cats
Netflix
Conversation
Likely a box of wine and some beers
Close proximity to F/G line and plenty of bars/food in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood

We are fun, reasonable people originally from the Midwest. We don't party too hard (usually in bed by 1 or 2 on the weekends) and would expect that our guests to politely shut up when we go to sleep. Feel free to stay up all night 1337 haxx0ring just don't be obnoxious.

Any interested folks should POST HERE for now with ideas and how much they might be willing to "donate". For reference here are the discounted Hotel Penn. prices -http://www.2600.com/news/view/article/12191

*No we won't clean your towels every day

Hi taco, I'm not sure what my plans are yet but if I end up coming by myself then your setup sounds pretty sweet, I'd be happy to pitch in for beer and whatnot, will let you know once I figure out what my plans are for sure.

Cool man, just let me know as soon as you can. This will be my first HOPE conference so I would love to go with some peeps as well as provide an affordable place to hang afterwards. NYC is hella expensive..
