AHHH!!! How did i JUST see this thread!?!? Count me in!! I will either be driving or flying, depending on airfare…anyone want to share a hotel room?? I am not familiar with the area at all so do any of you locals have suggestions for hotels?? I miss so much not being in chat friday nights!!! YAY!! i am so excited i can barely stand it!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

HI All
can’t wait – I would recommend flying into Reagan National airport (DCA) because the metro is right there at the airport – but it can sometimes be a little more expensive than Dulles or BWI, both of which are a ways outside the city (BWI being the fartherst, and in MD, Dulles is in Va) and cost around $60-75 for a one way cab ride/shuttle into the city, so figure in that cost when you book your ticket!
There are plenty of hotels that are also metro accessible, so you can get around on your own (we have a miniature subway system compared to the likes of NYC, it’s almost cute!), and some hotels actually offer shuttle service, so check that out, too – Tripadvisor, a website I use frequently for travel plans, might have some good ideas on budget hotels (I don’t have any input b/c I live here https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif ) I would also get a room mate if possible, hotels aren’t generall cheap around here. Just generally stay away from hotels in Northeast and Southeast DC….I’m sure some are fine… but, generally.. A quick search I found an Econo lodge with free breakfast 3 blocks from Metro in Arlington (close to the city) for $99/night for dec 18th and 19th, 2 double beds and free breakfast. So this is just an idea http://www.econolodge.com/
As I’ve said before, once we get a firm date/time, I would be happy to help carpool and have space for 3 or 4 people (depending on whether my friend is coming or not) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I’d also be happy to answer any questions you may have about the area, if I can!

I wanted to add that since we’ll be doing the jam at Xpose, it’s not in DC (so I guess it’s not technically a "DC" pole jam anymore LOL) so you would be closer if you flew into Baltimore. That airport is just 10 minutes from me and about 15 minutes from the studio. I can give you a ride Kari if you stay near the aiport or in Hanover.
JC I think there is a metro stop somewhere near here, so I can scoop you up from there too if I need to. We will make the transport happen https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Hey Sissy that’s a good point – my only concern was depending on how many people come in and from how far away(ie: they might stay the weekend), I’d be worried they might be stuck at the hotel with no transportation when not carpooling to/from the Pole Jam – so being at a hotel near metro would allow people to be mobile and downtown, or near it (Christmastime downtown is gorgeous! Esp the set up in front of the White House).
Xpose looks awesome! I wish it wasn’t so far away from me so I could attend on a regular basis. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Xpose is really cool. You’re going to like it Sabrina.
There’s actually a hotel right next to it now that I think about it LOL. Springhill Suits. It’s walking distance to the studio and just a few miles from my house. If anybody stayed there I could give them a ride to pole pressure (if we were to go) and then drop them off afterwards https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif -
God I wouls love to come to this…never get to hang with fellow polers and it sounds sooo fun! Hoping finances pick up and I can make it out, positive thoughts https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif

I can also help with carpooling.

As far as people flying in, depending on where everyone ends up staying, I could definitely help car pool as well. Did everyone decide on a chat time to discuss details, I got kinda lost in the thread, it was getting too long to catch up. Either way I am totally there where ever it ends up happening.

I’ll most likely have a car while i’m there, so if i do then i can carpool too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

So glad to hear that you are going to make it Azriel!!!!! I am so excited. To meet you and all the other wonderful polers that are attending. But if for some reason you need a ride let me know. I will be happy to help out.
