Apparently, the [original](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=77800) was getting a touch long, so we’ve got a second chance to inundate the Board with our enthusiasm for **OhDope, the Halloween Edition**.
So, once again:

I know **UncleBeer** booked a room at the Courtyard by Marriot. I am planning to do the same if my state as “unemployed loser” changes soon. ☹

Remember, there is the “spare” apartment, 2br (probably)+ couch that is $85/night, so it should break down to ~$20/person. Quite a steal. I know some people have claimed dibs, but it’s still an option.

Well, I doubt I could even pay that much.
Would it be possible to rent somw floor space for even cheaper?

Hey **Porcupine**
Did you buy a plane ticket yet? How are planning on getting there? I don’t know if you want to put your back through it, but if I can’t hitch a ride from MikeG we could split the drive AND a room.

**Monster** , as the Doper-travelling-the-furthest, you get honorary floor space of your choosing. Fear not, you’ll be fine.

Can I call dibs on the “spare” apartment too?

Sure you can, m’man! This is really gonna be a heckuva shin-dig.
So, **Strainger** , what’s your costume gonna be? Wait, I guess you can’t tell us, huh.

Ordered various leather garments for my costume today. Preparations are truly swinging into gear.
Remember, I’m dibsed on a spare apartment slot too. I only keep bringing that up because I can’t afford much else and I don’t want to wind up with nowhere to sleep Saturday night. It’s not that I don’t trust you guys…or is it?

I’ll go ahead and keep my costume a secret for now, **ts**. I will say that it contains a faux leopard pattern. Thanks to **Persephone** for helping me out with it!
