Baby Boards: Room Share for SXSW 2012

Although we’ve switched off the full forum that was The Baby! Boards for SXSW 2012, there was always one area that had the most traffic – the Room Share forum – so in the spirit of helping everyone out, we’re keeping a little corner of The Baby! so you can offer up beds, couches and crash space, or put in a request for your visit to Austin.

We can’t take any responsibility for any connections or offers made here, so be safe, use your head, and don’t forget to apply a little bit of common sense.

Saying that, best of luck, and hopefully The Baby! team will see you in March!

PS. Once you have sorted out a room, or someone has taken the offer, can you reply to the comments so everyone else knows it’s no longer an option?

    And to start off, we had this via email:

    “I can split my accommodations costs and share my room. Have two queen beds. Contact me via SXsocial, Amitava” http://sxsocial.sxsw.com/users/40545

    I’m not in the “business” but come to SXSW Music each year form as a fan. It’s made affordable because I have a brother in the industry and I crash in his hotel. He can’t make it this year so I’m looking for a cheap alternative. Email me at jk8@mindspring.com.

    We are a cool couple in our mid- 50′s both quasi musicians and into the Austin music scene year round. We’ve got a BIG 2 bedroom apt. with a porch view of downtown. We are considering offering to share our place with the right people. Not looking to max out on price. Preferably a couple or single person – no hard drugs- easy going- If you’d like to share pics, we’re on FB. We like to be involved in SXSW as much as possible. My husband is a teacher and it’s his spring break.  Email Dickthmpsn@gmail.com if interested.
