SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Last year saw over 100 people sleeping on the floor of Primal Fitness, it was hot, uncomfortable and had only one shower. So this year (expecting more people), we ask that you try to secure your own arrangements. Whether that is a hotel, hostel, or someone’s house, we cannot take on the responsibility of finding a place for 200 people to stay. I hope you understand.
But here’s what we can do. We can give you some pointers on booking your hotel if you want to go that route.
We recommend using a travel website like
www.kayak.com to find the cheapest hotels in the area. There you can put in the city and date, then find one you like based on the price. Please check the hotel’s website or give them a call to find out how close they are to a metro station. This is very important because it will allow you to be mobile during the jam (at least the first day while we are in DC). If you have a car, you don’t have to worry about it, just find a place that’s not too far away from all the action.
Another option is finding a hostel. There aren’t many around, but the closest one to Primal Fitness (walking distance) is The International House of United Tel (unitedt.com) Mention you are staying there for an event at Primal Fitness and you might get some special treatment.. not sure what yet, but the guy likes us.
Primal Fitness will cap the number of people who can stay the night(s) at 25 people. The option is not yet available to reserve, so please try to find another place to stay first, then we will open it up to people who cannot afford a hotel or cannot find someone to house them. An announcement will be made shortly about that.
