uhh i hope i’m doing this right… i’m supposed to post a comment if i’m looking for a ride, is that right???
i’m coming back to the midwest for about 10 days, and i’d like to go to finding our roots. i’ll probably be in indianapolis right before it, and then after it i need to go to maine. i also need to move several boxes of my shit out to maine. so, if anyone can give me and some boxes a ride from indy to chicago before the conference, and if anyone else can give me and some boxes a ride out to maine… that would be amazing. i would totally throw down on a share of gas money, and could share in the driving.
i’m going to be driving from terre haute indiana to northern illinois the saturday before the conference, if that’s not too early i could swing by indianapolis, and we’ll drive straight through chicago. if you still need a ride email me at hedy.suicide@gmail.com
I’m looking to leave from Pittsburgh on Friday – if anyone can give me a lift that’d be hell of cool.
hey- i live in bloomington and am looking for a ride for myself and my 7 year old daughter. And yeah, if anyone knows of a place we can stay that would be super helpful cause i’ve never been to chicago and am not sure where we would stay yet.. thnx!!
i can give two people a ride from urbana-champaign, il.
ok new plan… i’m buying a truck and driving it to maine. if you want to go with me… hit me up! and by that i mean, just reply to this message on the board…? i may buy a manual transmission, and given that i don’t know how to drive a stick yet, i’ll be looking for someone who does to drive at least part of the way with me there. i would like to go through pittsburgh and philly on the way… in philly i’m staying at an APOC house, so please be aware of that and make plans for finding your own place to stay if you’re white.
I’m driving down Friday evening with 3 other folks from Muskegon, MI. Crash space on Friday and Saturday nights would be awesome! Thanks!
Hi a group of five(?) of us are coming to Chicago from Kalamazoo, MI, we are looking for a place to stay the two nights of the conference, squats, co-ops, floors? let me know, k06ec01(at)kzoo(dot)edu. Thanks!
Hey everybody,
If you need a crash space, email Monkey at monkeywrenchintifada (A) riseup (dot) net. Lowercase is accepting folks who need crash space for the weekend. A little bit about this space:
Vegan/vegetarian household
Drug-free household
No pets (for those with allergies)
Safe space (Zero-Tolerance consent policy)
Queer/trans friendly space
A bunch of folks will be crashing here, so you would be better off bringing your own sleeping bags. There are extra mattresses and couches and also floor space. All first-come, first-serve.
See you this weekend!
rif raf:

Hi I live in Chicago on the Southside in Hyde Park. I am willing to offer up some futons and couch space, but probably only have room for about three people comfortably. Public transit is close to where we are and easy to get downtown.
We are four women with a small but clean space, clean bathroom. We are nearly entirely vegan and vegetarian. No smoke or pets. Queer-happiness abounds.
Hit me up if this is what you’re looking for:)

this is super late notice but if anyone is giving or needing rides from Kalamazoo, MI. we have four seats, or are in need of one seat. send an e-mail asap. k06ec01(at)kzoo(dot)edu
