Our, mostly, annual Hobos Birthday bottleshare will be happening on 11/24, the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Time TBD, but likely 12n-1ish to 4-5ish. Y'all are welcome, maybe set up a car pool. Or, Bellingham has some nice shopping for the holidays Hit me for details as to location.
If I can get the day off from work, I'd very much like to join. I'm one of the new transients, so I assume some hazing would be in order.
Our usual is the Guesthouse Inn on Lakeway. Clean, comfy, affordable, and an excellent location about a mile or so from downtown Bellingham. Other amenities: Woods Coffee in the hotel parking lot, Freddie's across the street, Whole Foods 2 blocks away. There's also a Four Points Sheraton across the street, if your lodging needs exceed "clean, comfy, and affordable."
Here's a new one, a couple blocks from the event site. Pricey though: https://www.thehotelleo.com/ There's a bunch of new ones near the airport, which are away from downtown. Some offer free shuttle buses: https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ACYBGNTUhRPK0gfmz4KEZZCS-see1Gnk1w:1572811246965&source=hp&ei=7jG_Xe-_OI_S-gTxrL4I&q=airport+hotels+bellingham+washington&oq=airport+hotels+bell&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0i22i30l7j0i22i10i30j0i22i30l2.2825.12100..14649...0.0..0.122.1335.17j2......0....1..gws-wiz.......35i39j0i67j0i131j0j0i131i67j0i20i263j0i10.pecorQJ7GHg This one: http://www.bellinghamlodge.com/ is a former Travelodge gone private, about a 15 minute walk from the venue, and on the budget side. This one is also on the pricey side, but is also >5minute walk from the venue: https://www.bellinghamhamlet.com/ This one is a bit outside of downtown, but right on a bus line. It's in a quieter neighborhood (I live probably a 10-12minute walk from it): https://www.heliotropehotel.com/
I just sent out invites on a FB page for it, so, if we're FB friends you should have gotten it. Otherwise, hit me up here for more details.
