I just booked a room at Hotel Union Square. I'm not 100% sure it's where I'll be staying since I'm supposed to be coming in on a booking with one of my clients, but they're taking their time and rooms are drying up...
Am I too old for the indie party?

FYI in 05 i got a room at my current hotel (union square) and the heater was broken. it would turn on full blast for an hour then turn off completely... didnt sleep at all.
so be sure to ask for a room that lets you sleep.

Past experience suggest that jetlag will ensure I get plenty of sleep, regardless of room. It doesn't say exactly when in the day this will happen though... |

Solved: we're staying here. Mind the bed bugs don't bite! I've just read the reviews!  The bugs ensure we are keeping it REAL!!! *cries* |

Hopefully in 4 years they've managed to fix a heater... |

The last time I was in SF, a cool homeless guy named Uncle K.K. guided me to the Japanese-operated Aida Hotel on 7th and Market. Very close to the Moscone, and $77/night cash, + $15 extra for your own private bathroom. It's old (1920's?), funky, and clean. And there's a great, cheap, New York-style Pizza place right next door, and a walk-up pastry bakery across the street, operating 24 hours a day, which also sells cigarettes. K.K. also turned me onto and . ..

I thought she was imaginary too when the first time I walked into her apartment and saw the vintage Owl clock above her kitchen table, and then later when I saw her hand-sewed Owl purse... What can I say? And Adam, Kevin 'Greater Beast' Coulton is probably certainly coming up as well. |

We found an apartment for the 5 of us in the end. Could be... cosy.

If I'm going, (depends on if I can get the army to understand my need to dev indie games instead of serving teh country and if I get money from the state to go), ..
so if I'm going, I would probably try and get a room at hostel adelaide.. I stayed there in 2005 and had an amazing time. It was just incredibly cool. It's close to the conf.center as well.

Last year I stayed with Fish and Petri at the Hosteling International Downtown place, it's super cheap and it's fine. I'm staying there this year too. http://www.sfhostels.com/downtown/staying there too. like last year and the year before. its neat, it has free wi-fi, free bagels and its 10 minutes away on foot from the center. if you stay at a hotel, you're EA. I'm staying there as well this year (with Erik, Kian and Martin). For the money you pay it is an awesome place. It's close the convention center, has free wi-fi and is dirty cheap. we just booked this too. you're not indie unless you have bedbugs. |
