Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

Nope, just me

add Econo also (one night probably? or just coming up for the day of the marathon?
I'm willing to share a bed with anyone, bring my sleeping bag and sleep on the couch or floor - whatever.
If it's okay with you guys, I'd like to invite my buddy, Karen, who lives on the outskirts of Portland proper, over for some of the festivities, as well as drag her along to be a cheer person during the race. She won't be staying at the house, but she knows I'll be in town, and I'd feel like a butt if I didn't invite her.

Do you snore?
Only when I'm laying in my back, and then only slightly. I'm a left side of the bed sleeper, though, and I will fight anybody who tries to take that side from me. Fair warning.
I would love to meet Karen, Leslie!I think we're going to have the rockin'est cheer team on the course!

I would love to meet Karen, Leslie!

I think we're going to have the rockin'est cheer team on the course!
especially if someone <<<(that would be you)>>>>
can provide the same encouragement and cheering
you did at the 2007 boomer reunion at the inaugural
Eugene Marathon that someone <<<(that would be me)>>>
is going to need in the last five miles.

floor . . .
I'll see if Dr. Kate will be around.
And let me say, I can sleep on the floor so long has I have something soft under me. If the floor it be, will be bringing my sleeping pad. Otherwise, I shall end up a cripple.
So, here is the count for the party house (is this everyone?):
Econo
Tet
Generally at these events the wimmen share beds (with other wimmin), but the men are sometimes a bit awkward about that. Looks like we need at least 7 beds to accommodate this crowd. Leslie - we will NOT put you on the floor.
I also have a decent twin air mattress I could bring if necessary.
since Leslie and I are driving up, it's pretty easy for her and/or I to bring air mattresses. I have a queen one and am totally fine sleeping on that. I think our choices for something near the marathon will be limited, so let's not limit ourselves further by needing a bed for each person.
Since we are having so many people, what do you folks think of this place:

Five bedrooms, 11 beds, and it looks to be less than I a mile from the start/finish, if that is correct. The plus - beds for everyone. The minus: ONE bathroom. Really, ONE bathroom? Hmmm....still, beds for everyone.....
Actually, given the bathroom situation, I think Rosey's choice may be the best yet.
