Alright, I just decided to do some hotel snooping of my own, and... you guys suck at getting good rates.

Hotwire's offering a 3 star hotel in Brampton for $61 USD a night (including all fees). From what I found on a website that tells you what hotels you get with Hotwire, it's one of these:





Both look pretty nice. And they both have indoor pools! (The one's the one Christine mentioned in the thread earlier with the 2 story waterslide!)

Apparently the Holiday Inn Select has a lot of rooms facing some kind of "atridome" thing that houses the pool, and it echos and there's a lot of sound... but I have a feeling we'd be the ones MAKING the sound, so I don't think we should worry.

Anyway... it seems R&S and Tom are the only ones who've already booked? Think you can cancel that and go with this one? (I guess someone should contact R&S and ask them the same question, too.) Regardless of which it actually is, it's way cheaper, and seems nicer.

Actually, here's the Hotwire link (though I'm not sure it'll work):

I think the HoJo was selected because of its proximity to the alleged venue location. The map Rich posted on the Facebook event page shows it just being a few blocks away from the Rose Theatre, where the concert is assumed to be taking place on the outside. It's all on the outside...all....

no chance it's taking place IN the Rose Theatre? They don't have anything scheduled that night.

I'm not staying at the HoJo:

Pretty consistently poor ratings. My standards for hotels have gone up at bit in the last few years so this place doesn't really sound like it's up my alley. I'm not sure if we'll do the hotel thing or just drive home. Depends on what ppls plans are.

Hi Rich!

I say we do the Hotwire thing. Eek, does Hotwire work for Canadians? If not, maybe us yanks should reserve with it, find out which hotel it is, then the Canadians can go on Travelocity or Expedia or whichever's cheapest and grab the same hotel.

Sound good?

[nikki4982]

Oh, also, this should probably happen ASAP. We need to figure out how many rooms we need.

Head count! (And whether you want your own room or not.)

ONE!

And I'll share with the big group, as always.

[Kathy]

okay, so the wristband policy for Brampton residents puts a bit of a kink in the planning process. I don't know any Brampton residents.

[nikki4982]

Craaaaaaaaap. I never even thought that would be a possibility.

Uhh. Ugh.

[saman]

i think reza's a brampton resident?

[Kicker774]

I'd wager to guess there might be scalers selling wristbands.

Maybe hit up craigslist and ask around.

I'll ask anyone at work tomorrow if their Brampton residents.

Fake IDs?

They had to start it on the 8th, I'm flying back that morning.
