or outside of Wilmington? hotels seems to start at like 58 per night, and for one person that seems kinda lame - but I guess since it's a hot spot area for the beach that makes sense

do they have any hostels or YMCAs or even a hotel like in the 50 dollar range? (that extra 10 bucks just isn't cutting it for me)

also, if anyone has an apt down there I would be willing to pay you handsomely to stay there (I would not hang out there and be annoying, just a place to presumably sleep and have a shower) - but I'm not really expecting anyone would want a stranger to stay with them

anyway thx in advance

HIDE NCSUGIRL RUN!!!

lol

7/25/2008 1:39:05 PM

taking this obsession a bit far

7/25/2008 1:39:35 PM

don't stay at Econolodge or Motel 6

shitholes

If you don't mind shitholes then Econolodge is the lesser of the shitholes

Both are about $70 a night for the weekend

and much less during the week

7/25/2008 1:40:49 PM

America's Best Value Inn.

I don't know current prices, but last time I was there it was like $30/night.

Then again this was like last october.

Assuming you're looking for a shithole.

[Edited on July 25, 2008 at 1:41 PM. Reason : shithole]

7/25/2008 1:41:15 PM

I don't mind shitholes

I just clearly remember like 10 years ago (and I suppose this isn't adjusting for inflation) staying in a motel for like 35-40 bucks and it was pretty decent

times they are a-changin


^thx I'll check that out

7/25/2008 1:41:43 PM

So what are you coming to our wonderful area for?

7/25/2008 1:41:49 PM

is there a reason other than stalking for you to be going to Wilmington?

7/25/2008 1:41:50 PM

7/25/2008 1:43:04 PM

7/25/2008 1:44:31 PM

I am coming to go to... the beach!

yeah, that's it

not stalk

7/25/2008 1:46:11 PM

Don't forget the sunscreen.

7/25/2008 1:47:01 PM

7/25/2008 1:48:03 PM

^^hell yeah I dont want to get burned

but I just may not go if I can't find somewhere cheap enough

I wish I had some friends down that way

someone be my friend thx

7/25/2008 1:51:32 PM

welp...on the brightside, i don't have to worry about you running into me unless you find a 4wd.

7/25/2008 1:52:18 PM

7/25/2008 1:52:41 PM

what's wrong with me running into you

7/25/2008 1:58:12 PM

uhm...

7/25/2008 3:15:03 PM

eh he's not that bad, lol

7/25/2008 3:18:25 PM

7/25/2008 3:20:05 PM

so when's this wilmington excursion? We need to have a tdub party.

7/25/2008 3:20:07 PM

I once saw this Airbag character. He was outfitted in a very delectable way.

[Edited on July 25, 2008 at 3:20 PM. Reason : [no homo] btw.]

7/25/2008 3:20:25 PM

I'll have a fucking TWW party if I can find a place to stay

7/25/2008 3:21:12 PM

Yep and Charles Manson "seemed like a nice enough guy"

7/25/2008 3:22:23 PM

ha. you could stay on the beach for $10/day(or just $50) if you had a truck.

7/25/2008 3:23:05 PM

fuck

I might even sleep in my car

I'll pay someone 5 dollars per shower to let me use their shower for a day or three

7/25/2008 3:23:48 PM

Why are you even going down there?

7/25/2008 3:24:27 PM

Charles Manson never dressed in a delectable way.

[Edited on July 25, 2008 at 3:25 PM. Reason : ^^There are public showers on the beach. Just wear a swimsuit, or shower after 3am.]

7/25/2008 3:24:34 PM

oh shit public showers

people might look at me weird for using shampoo and shit tho lol


why am I going down there?

well you'll never know...

7/25/2008 3:25:57 PM

umm actually i'm guessing you've only seen prison shots of him then.... the dude didn't look to crazy till he was thrown in jail

7/25/2008 3:26:46 PM

why are you comparing me to Charles Manson?

are you that misanthropic?

7/25/2008 3:27:06 PM

the real question is, are you gonna get lucky while you're here?

7/25/2008 3:27:09 PM

doubtful


or is it??

Actually I already know.

And when I saw Uncle Charlie at Spahn Ranch, he never dressed in a delectable manner.

[Edited on July 25, 2008 at 3:31 PM. Reason : Airbag will get lucky, but he will also do some things prematurely, which will ruin the moment.]

7/25/2008 3:30:44 PM

not really someone just said he didn't dress appealing

i'm not one to be attracted to dudes but doesn't look to friggin creepy there

7/25/2008 3:30:54 PM

my uncle lives there. He's a housing contractor who builds pimp ass houses. They are WAY out of your budget.










I guess I didn't really help out.

I don't mind my threads being padded with useless info, carry on

7/25/2008 3:31:48 PM

it is about 2 hours away from raleigh
how have you guys never been ILLmington

7/25/2008 3:33:00 PM

My family had a beach house in Holden and I had to drive through Wilmington a few times... from what I saw of it, it was trashy looking... but I went the same way every time...

7/25/2008 3:34:11 PM

wilmington is far from trashy
just like any city, it has trashy parts but most of wilmington is really pretty especially the historic part

7/25/2008 3:35:07 PM

I think Wilmington is dope

seriously

driving 20mph over the limit the whole way.

7/25/2008 3:42:52 PM

my brother just slept on the beach. but i guess he could go to my parent's house to shower, etc.

sorry. the beach has been crowded with ugly fat people the last few days anyway... maybe it's just where i sit, but geez.

good luck

Uh, Google maps says 2 hours 6 minutes.

7/25/2008 3:52:06 PM

132 miles, so of course you will be driving 60mph the whole time and not hit any traffic or red lights. How could I have forgotten.

7/25/2008 4:20:47 PM

not on 40

7/25/2008 4:21:31 PM

if you had a truck you could just camp on the beach.

I'm planning such a camping trip sometime in late aug early sept I think.

7/25/2008 4:33:03 PM

i'll set you up
