Ride & Room Share Board
Hotel accommodations are at a premium in Austin during SXSW—and just getting there can be half the fun expense.
To help, SXSW Baby! features a Ride & Room Share Board, a virtual tack board where you can post a note if you've got a spare seat in your car for the trip to Austin or where you can connect with a potential roommate or find a sofa to crash on.
Commercial listings are not accepted on the Ride/Room Share board. If you represent a hotel, room-to-let, B&B, travel service or other commercial vendor, you may post a brief message about your service in the Accommodations & Amenities forum on the Baby! Boards. Abuse of this service may result in revocation of your posting privileges.

Room to share at Down Hilton Garden Inn 12-16th (2 Queen beds)
Hi, I’m posting on the boards as I have a room to share at SXSW. I’m staying at the Downtown Hilton Garden Inn on the following dates:
12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and checking out on the 16th.
It’s only a couple blocks from the convention center. Very nice room with 2 queen beds, my friend had to cancel last minute so I’ve freed 1 bed up.
I’m asking $100 a night. As for a little bit more about me, I’m a easy going 32 year old interaction / web designer (male) from San Francisco. Just looking for someone to help cover the costs of the room.
thanks,
kyle

Bed at Hampton Inn Downtown Available for Cheap!! 3/16-3/21
I posted this earlier but forgot to mention the dates.
I’m a blogger heading down to Austin for SXSW Music. I have a room with two double beds and the second person in my room backed out. If you would like to know more about me, check out http://www.harrisdecker.com and feel free to contact me through email at harrisdecker@me.com in regards to the bed.
I’m looking for $100 per night, which is half the rate I’m paying. Figured I would rather split it for less rather than leaving it empty!! Let me know, thanks!!

Downtown, conference center Hilton bed - discounted to $100/night! (3/12-3/20)
I’ve got a free queen bed in a non-smoking room at the Hilton (best hotel for the conference, in the heart of downtown).
Room rate comes to $164/person assuming an even split, but I’m willing to eat some costs to get this room share done with.
So $100/night gets you the bed - currently available the nights of 3/12-3/19 (checking out 3/20).
I’m a very clean web/software consultant from NYC (male, 35).

Classic 1960 Avion Travel Trailer in the heart of SXSW
Rented two places, but just need one! Here are the details on the place I don’t need.
Have the coolest SXSW on record! Stay in
antique ‘60 Avion TT and be the envy of all your friends.
The trailer is located on a secluded acre in the heart of all things SXSW.. walk to the Continental Club, some of the best Tex-Mex in the world and all the funky-ness that South Austin has to offer. Ride one of our bicycles downtown or take a quick/cheap cab ride to all the venues. Bus lines and pedi-cabs are all over the place as well. Feel like chilling at home? Relax under one of the hundred year old Pecan trees and listen to Bouldin Creek pass by..throw some ‘shoes or build a fire in the pit.
The place is perfect for two with a full bathroom and kitchen. Wireless also available. Say you did it south-Austin style!

Have bed available 3/12-3/20 at Hilton Austin
I’m staying in a double queen non-smoking room at the Hilton for the duration of the conference (Friday 3/12 - Saturday 3/20) and as of now there’s one bed free.
I’m very clean and considerate - looking for same.
There’s enough partying in Austin that week that the room is used as a pretty quiet crash pad.
Ideally I’m looking for someone who will share the entire time but I’m willing to break things up into Interactive & Music.
Open to a couple taking the bed as long as they are considerate.
Rate *with taxes* is $327.75/night - so your share is $164/night.

Looking for a room downtown
Yeah, I know it’s a long shot.
3 (possibly 4) of us are booked in to the Wyndham Garden Inn, but would ideally like to be downtown. If anyone knows of any accommodation downtown for 3/4 people, or anyone is giving up their room and wants to transfer it, we’d really really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
You can contact me at hello at nonimage dot com

Would like to share the costs of a hotel with another female traveler if possible.
