anarchist_nomad | Congenial question

To anyone who is planning to go to Congenial next month, I have a question: Do you have any crash space that you can spare? I cannot chip in to pay for the hotel room, but I can barter with things like meals, backrubs, fuel costs, sexual favours...

Is this a monetary issue? Can I not afford to get a $79 hotel room for two nights? No, that is not it at all. The problem is that Congenial is being held at a Marriott hotel. For several years now, I have refused to stay at a Marriott (or any of their subsidiary hotels, like Courtyard or Residence Inn) because of their poor record on labour disputes. If interested, you can read more about that here or here... or do your own research.

In any case, I would like to be at the con, but unless somebody has floor space to offer for free or for barter, I will not be able to attend. There are other things going on that weekend (like the Local to Global Justice teach-in at ASU -- with David Rovics performing!) that I could attend instead, if this doesn't work out...
