Sleep under my kitchen table at Inauguration
- Silentio 18y agoI've always thought these kinds of sites are interesting. I would be afraid of getting hacked into a thousand pieces and thrown in a dumpster...
- maxwell 18y agoYou know, I'm not a big fan of Facebook, but this site should use it for vetting. You don't know much from a name, picture, and some attributes, but in all honesty I'd be more inclined to trust someone (at least to not be a psycho killer) after looking at their drunk pictures and wall posts than anything any central authority could issue.
- wheels 18y agoLife is more interesting when you don't assume that strangers showing kindness are going to hack you into pieces and throw you into a dumpster. Always take candy from strangers. And smile.
- eli 18y agoAgreed, I actually live in downtown DC and I'm going out of town for inauguration... but I'd like to come home and find the TV is still there.
- kqr2 18y agoThey forgot that someone can sleep in the bathtub too. Reminds me of this craig's list ad: http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nyc/907788944.html http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nyc/907788944.html

- KevBurnsJr 18y agoNevermind, looks like its fixed now? For a second there I thought it was just a 1-pager :)
- eli 18y agoWord is that demand has actually relatively low for the "sleep on my couch" type offers: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/08/washington-rental-boom-a-bust/ http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/08/washington-ren... Though, that said, I've heard that people are getting hotels in Fredrick, MD or even Philly for inauguration. That's just nuts.
- pgebhard 18y agoWell, those houses being rented out seem to be in the range of ~$3000/week. That's what's nuts. There would be more people going that route if that price wasn't so high.
- a-priori 18y agoThe blog article that mentions this listing is worth reading as well: http://www.airbedandbreakfast.com/blog/?p=409 http://www.airbedandbreakfast.com/blog/?p=409
