I don't know if this thread would help any of the out-of-town travelers that are planning on attending this year's SG101 convention. I've seen a few folks asking about where they are staying, prices, etc. There's a lot of options out there!
This becomes more of an issue when super-surf fans, like me, want to attend all the pre-shows before Sunday's main event but find the lodging expenses challenging. ($350/night+  ) Also - transportation to/from venues and their locations may be daunting. Carpooling or planned UBER/LYFT sharing are great alternatives to car rentals.
So with that in mind, if anyone has extra space, or need roommates to offset costs, I think this thread would be a great way for surf fans to open their lines of communication with one another; whether it's only one person or a large group looking at renting a house for the weekend.

Don't stay in Hollywood. Try the Beverly Garland, It's about $182 a night, There's other hotels off of Ventura Blvd. These Hotels are only 10 to 15 minutes away from the Show in a car.

Cousin Mary Told me they got a place in Hollywood for not much more than 100 a night. I’ll ask her to chime in.
if people are coming from afar.
please look into room and car sharing to save money in these pricey times.

We got a room at La Mirage Inn. Got the reservation a couple of months ago. Most of the hotels in the area were much more expensive.

Hey Gellert,
I reserved a room at the Economy Inn on Sunset Blvd for about $100/night from Friday and checking out Monday. But I can cancel this reservation with no penalty so I'd be down to splitting cost on a room somewhere with you if you want.
I haven't booked a flight yet because when I looked this past week, the prices were pretty high.

Hey there, Tien!
I already have my lodging paid for the entire trip. I appreciate you chiming in!

Travel tip: Expedia is usually the best especially if you need to cancel at the last minute. BUT I have always found that booking direct withe the hotel (not their 800 reservation center) will result in the best rates and often an upgrade without any additional charge.
