I was hoping that you might be able to put me in touch with a band that might need housing….. I have 150 beds in dorm-style houses 90 miles from downtown Washington DC. For a group of students the cost per night is $30 for a group of adults the cost per night is $50. Pretty darn reasonable !! and the dining room serves 3 meals a day, and they’re hearty home-style meals for only $8.50 per person….

Weve plenty of room for practicing, and for turning those big buses around…. Can you tell me what else a band might need? If so, we’ll find it !! If the group is flying in, then our local school system is willing to talk about transporting the group….

So, can you help me get the word out ? or tell me HOW to get the word out ?? We could serve a small marching band, or choral group, etc….. Whatever !!

Thanks for whatever help you can give me…

Sincerely,

Gini LaMaster

Great post and I just wrote a piece on ways to get your place rented for Obama’s inauguration. Good luck.

These intrepid roommates should try my website, InaugurationRent.com – It doesn’t have the volume of rental listings as craigslist, but I advertise it nationally to people visiting DC for the Inauguration to get a lot of traffic per listing. Be persistent, and make sure you are advertising in all the best venues.

Well the money gleaming tenant gave the inquirer all she wanted in the 15 minute email! Gotta leave something to give after the money exchange. “Yes, there is a lot to see and do here. We will tell you all about it — after you rent the house.”

Fascinating saga.
