Does anyone need a roommate for their hotel room?  So far my plans for
dragon con is to drive in and out of atlanta every day and stay with one of
my friends that live in Marietta.
It's MUCH easier and fun to have a hotel room you can just go to and drop
off stuff and change and rest than just a car you have parked in the garage.
