  1. Hey from England!

    OK, first off - you guys may get a lot of this - and if so I apologise
    in advance.

    I'll be running NYC this year, after being accepted with a charity
    placement.

    This will be my first marathon experience, although I have been
    training well.

    Anyway, the upshot is - I'm in New York from the 2nd - 9th November (my
    first visit and I'm mad excited!) BUT - I don't yet have a place to
    stay.

    Now I'm no "freeloader" - I simply got hit with a few unexpected things
    this month, and now I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on a
    hotel room.

    I'm genuinely scared that I'll be sleeping in Central Park!!

    As a precautionary measure, I'm going to book a dorm bed in a HI hostel
    when I get paid (not till 1st November!); so at least I'll have a roof
    over my head.

    But I'm really hoping that some kindhearted likeminded soul will step
    forward and help me out here. I'll pay board, and even contribute to
    housework and stuff - whatever it takes!

    Or perhaps someone has a twin hotel room with a spare bed - we could
    maybe split the costs of the room or something.

    I'm 23, male, British, a care worker for adults with developmental
    difficulties. I've got my head screwed on and won't cause you any
    trouble - so PLEASE help me out if you can.

    I really appreciate you taking the time to read this message.

    Kind regards,

    Carl. EMAIL ME ON: [email hidden] Thanks again.

    if i were going somewhere single, i would just rent a car
    and drive out of the city and sleep at the rest stops.
    a few hours at each one shouldn't raise the ire of
    the police. food is simple. showering is a little
    tougher but any community pool has shower
    facilities. cheap way to visit.

    No, butt you having carnal relations with the men who frequent these
    areas, probably would.

    I realize that most people don't sleep that well the night before a race
    but to suggest that he sleeps in car after a cramped multihour trip by
    plane from across the pond, is almost mean. Would you really do this and
    then try to run the marathon? Did we have one of these frugality, aka
    El $$cheapo$$ discussions some years ago?

    Good Luck! This is a good way to end up in someone's basement freezer
    though. be careful!

    Hmm, do you own a french maid outfit? If so, or you can rent one,
    we'll talk.

    You're hired. See you 8:00 AM, Sunday morning......and leave your
    running gear at home.

    You're our English cousin, our trusted ally, and you want to come to
    New York and empty someones cat litter and take out the garbage? I
    don't like the idea.
