Convention looking for volunteer housing
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The Colorado Democratic Party notes the Denver Convention Host Committee is looking for housing for volunteers for next August:
The Denver 2008 Host Committee is looking for volunteer housing. While many of the volunteers for the 2008 Democratic National Convention will be from Colorado, some of those volunteers will come from outlying areas around the state. Also recruitment is going on in surrounding states. Most hotel rooms locally will be used to house state delegations, press, and others associated with the convention. If you know of someone who has extra room during next August, please contact Sondra Williams, Volunteer Coordinator at Sondra@DenverConvention2008.com or 303-534-6200.

I am volunteering to host REPUBLICANS coming to Denver to protest—-FREE… I’ll maybe even pay people to come stay with me and protest with me…..
Sign me up, Tina. I’ll be there. But you don’t have to pay me (or even put me up for free).

Hi There –
I have a 2 bedroom apartment for rent for the convention. Its in the Curtis Park neighborhood and is close to downtown.
Two story, living room kitchen, etc. Nice, quiet and private but still downtown.
ONE BLOCK FROM LIGHT RAIL and is 2 or so stops from all the action.
I have plenty of pictures so please email at
bmeredithkline@gmail.com
I have free space to host a volunteer for the convention in my home which is walking distance or light rail to the convention center. Email me at dnvpaul@aol.com.
Apparently no one is really in charge of housing for the 35,00-50,000 non-Denver volunteers estimated to be coming here. Citing “insurance issues” and too much else to do, Marie, who answered the number posted here, advised me that residents should offer their houses on Craig’s List or check for realtors at “Denver Short Term Housing” on Google. That Googling only turns up firms that help executive relocate between moves.
This is pretty sad, people.
Get out of town!
No, seriously, get out of town, and stay in peaceful North Boulder. Lovely 2 bedroom (actually 4, but only 2 with beds!) 2 bath home in nice, quiet North Boulder neighborhood, seconds from foothills parkway (36), 30 minutes to Denver. Wireless internet.
