I don't know how many of us are going to GameStorm 14 (http://www.gamestorm.org/), but I've got a bit of a problem that I'm hoping some of the Northwest people might be able to help me with.
I am running a boardgame tournament at the convention. This necessitates taking multiple copies of the game in question to the convention so that multiple games can be running simultaneously. I also have an earlier training session in the game which could lead to the same problem. Now, I usually commute to the con on the bus (a Tri-Met bus to the MAX to C-Tran which handles all bus traffic in Vancouver), but if I'm carrying three or four copies of the same boardgame it becomes a hassle.
So I'm looking at two solutions: either a room share at the convention or a reliable car ride back and forth every day. I don't know where I'm going to get either.
I have a part-time gig that has four weeks left. I'm only getting about $50 a week for it before taxes, so I can't reserve an entire room to myself without help but I can contribute in advance to someone's room in return for being allowed to crash and store my stuff.
I'm open to any rational suggestions. I will be at the GameDay tomorrow at the hotel and I am hoping someone has an idea.
