So I came across a 3-day pass but with such little time to plan I don't have the time or money to book a hotel. I don't want to sound like I'm begging but is there any duder willing to let a stranger crash with them during the event?

@smashecontrollers: I can't personally help you but you should check out the Room Share thread on the official PAX forums.

Bring a tent, sleep in the park. #occupypax

@bisonhero: Is this a thing? I'd actually be fine with that if I'm not the only one...

I don't know how legal it is to camp in a public park, but I imagine the cops can't find everyone who does it. But consider that March in Boston isn't great in terms of temperature, and also homeless people stealing your stuff.

Considering the constant beating mother nature is giving that city this year, I wouldn't even dream of doing it.

@mariachimacabre: I live in the east coast, I know how shitty the weather has been...

I...I'm sorry to have offended?

@mariachimacabre: Oh no, sorry that came across that way. It's just after the big snow storm, the weather over here's been insane...

I found success with the PAX Room Swap Thread on the PA Forums. It's expanded rapidly in the past week or two, lots of people shifting plans around and having/needing extra space.

It's a little bit madcap because new users have to request their posts to be edited as FOUND. But I sent out a few emails and got responses sent to me from a few more. People are certainly looking on both ends of the spectrum.

And should be cloudy and 40s all weekend.
