Hi, I'm visiting Los Angeles to talk at UCLA. I told them I would stay with a friend (hotels are boring). Well, my friend is going to be out of town and I don't think he's still going to let me stay in his house.

Anyway, if you live in LA and want to host me, I'll do a similar favor if you're visiting DC and want to stay at hotel Wrong Planet (my house). I'm looking for a cool person who will show me around town. I'll be arriving on Wednesday May 28 and leaving Saturday May 31.

You'll also get a free Wrong Planet tshirt.

-Alex

I live in Santa Maria, CA, which is about a 2-3 hour drive from LA.

I have a guest room with a fold out bed, Satellite TV, wireless internet, and I'll even cook for you.

How's that?

that sounds great Scoey but unfortunately I want to find someone closer to LA. Maybe we can do lunch or hang out while I'm there, however.

Hosting Our Developer topic

Wow, that would be an honour. Come on, people, he's our Founder! Would make a great story. (I live in Barrie, Ontario. :(

He would be interesting to meet. I could really pick his brain! :twisted: :D

I can not help for LA but I'm sure you'll find a place there.

If you have to stay in Montréal one day, contact me :) It would be a great honor :)

its so cool that you are going to get to speak at a big university. Im sorry, I cant help you find a place to stay in LA, but If I had a big 5 room apartment in downtown LA, I would let you spend the weekend there for sure, bro.

but now I dont so...

Sorry, I'm in Ohio. Scoey might be the closest who's offered so far... but he's not a member anymore after the spamming I thought. Sorry if I'm not supposed to be asking, but how come the "banned" rank and X next to the avatar doesn't show when the banned person only has a couple posts? I've seen that happen with another guy too.

I'd suggest you could stay at my godmother's house, she lives in a really nice suburb of LA, but I have no way of contacting her, telling you her address, and I don't know what she would say to this suggestion, but, yeah, sorry. (I don't think my parents would approve of me trying to set this up either, sorry)

best of luck!
(why can't you just stay in a hotel, they may be boring, but you could just go out and only be in there while you sleep, right? no offense intended of you are taking this that way)
