Anyone have a place for me to crash?

[FastChad]

I’ve decided that I’m traveling to Miami for the game this weekend and was hoping someone on the board would be kind enough to take me in for a few nights. I don’t know what y’all have going on down there but your hotels are pricey. Airbnb isn’t an option for me due to a misunderstanding.

Don’t worry, I don’t intend to be a free loader. I’m willing to pay a pro-rated share of utilities as long as your home or apartment is reasonably energy efficient and I will bring some frozen corn dogs and other tasty stuff. I threw a party last weekend and someone brought one of those big bags of flavored popcorn that has barely even been opened.

A bed would be ideal but a couch will suffice. Beggars can’t be choosers if you know what I mean. I’m hoping to get a deal by scalping a ticket at the last minute, but will gladly sit with you if you have an extra ticket.

Serious replies only please.

As a host.. I've heard that line before

 

[Empirical Cane]

I have moderately high hopes for this thread.

 

[JamesQuall]

Ah yes, poor Mr Internet Stranger Airbnb was definitely in the wrong. I'd love to hear the story of what happened.

We as a board collectively welcome you. I'm sure all of us who live within 3,000 miles of the stadium will gladly host you.

I'm in. As long as I get to have some of that popcorn from your "barely" opened bag.

 

[cf3000]

What does 'barely opened' mean? It's one or the other.

For real? I almost didn’t mention the bag of popcorn, but thought to myself “who doesn’t like popcorn?”

Can you share a screen shot of your open browser tabs?

It's CIS tradition and critical to vetting process.

Miami is going to be tough, but if you’re ever in NY we know a fella who will gladly host you in his bed “free” of charge and will even throw in a fresh bag of popcorn…..provided you’re willing to change your name to Fast Kenneth

Yes, this guy has plenty of available openings. Feel free to DM him.

Not sure why it’s relevant but if it’ll help, I’m game.

If I were you I’d just start knocking on doors in Miami Gardens near the stadium. People are super friendly and accommodating there

“Openings” being the key word here.

 

[423Hurricane]

On a serious note, it’s always dicey to welcome a stranger into your home. For both parties. I would suggest that if you find a willing participant, get to know them as much as possible.

Agreed. A boomer I met on a home brewing message board let me stay at his place for a game at UVA a few years ago. His wife made me mow their yard the next day and it was easily over an acre. I’ve been pretty careful about screening hosts since then.

 

[Silver King]

Is FastChad actually an apparition of Halloweens past coming to the board as some phantasm of the Hurricanes chances of ever being relative again? Because that ticket scalping line is a direct reference to the The Curse of the Orange Bowl.

Mowing the yard, even an acre, was a small price to pay. LOL.
