Hey guys, so I'm in a bit of a bind.

In mid-Sept. I will be moving down to San Diego to go to UCSD. My friend, who I've been dating for a year and a half now, is going to UCLA, and I needed some help surprising her by visiting and helping her move in. The problem is that I don't know the area, the transportation (I plan on taking the 101 bus from La Jolla to Oceanside, then getting on the Metro to LA Union Station, then taking a bus to the campus) and it'd take roughly 4 hours to get there, and then if I miss one of the buses or trains later in the evening, I'll be stuck far away from my school and I really won't know where to go.

So, I implore you gentlemen and gentlewomen, of teamliquid, to help me out by giving me any advice you can, or, if at all possible, providing me with a place to stay for the evening in LA. I know this is a really really big risk and a huge favor for a stranger, but it'd be awesomely helpful. I'll definitely see about letting you crash at my place in UCSD whenever you're in town.

Thanks, and much love,
-Sonikhawk

I thought this was a really awkward phrase the first time I read through this.

If you're looking for a place to sleep, there are a bunch of somewhat weird places you could do that depending on when you are coming. Worst case, you could sneak into one of the larger halls and sleep in the lobby of the bigger floors. No one will know you don't belong there the first few nights and you could probably get away with it as long as you pretend that you live there or that you were waiting for a friend to come.

I've got a big white van you can sleep in.

I have an apartment at UCLA (about 1-2 minute walk from de neve), i move in the 14th, shoot me a pm. We will most likely not have a lot of furnishing but you should be able to sleep on a blow up mattress on my floor or w/e if you need it.

If you feel confident in your ability to sense danger while asleep, you should consider becoming a couchsurfer.

you might wanna reconsider this, also couch surfing is not a bad idea. I'm actually gonna try it myself.

Wait, why do I have to sense danger... I don't have spidey senses D:

But I will look into this! Thanks all. Except the van guy. That was kinda creepy.
