Thanks very much for the offer Matt. Nikki and I will definitely take you up on it, and I'm sure Matt will too. I don't think Josh is planning on coming to Victoria though :(

We're really excited to meet you :D

As for that place, I could tell you how I pronounce it, and I think that's from hearing it somewhere so it might be right, but it would have a funny accent so hopefully someone else will come along and help out.

Oh, I think Yannic got tickets too so she might be able to help you guys even better in Kelowna.

There's a pretty decent hotel downtown within walking distance. The newer ones, you'd have to walk 1/2 hr or drive.

the ton of money I saved on my car insurance is going to be used for my trip to L.A. to go to the E3 expo.

Victoria Section A Row 2 Seat 1 :D, and of course Josh has already posted our seats for the two Vancouver shows. Woot CM West Meetup!

Seattle Matt: I'll take you up on the ride to Victoria and Vancouver as well. I'll probably fly into Seattle on Monday evening and then do some tourist stuff on Tuesday, namely the EMP museum and the Hendrix memorial, and maybe the Space Needle.

Happen to remember the name of it? Is it the Royal Anne?

tis the Royal Anne. A nicely attached Cold Beer and Wine Store is a plus too. :nod:

Yay thanks. I think we'll end up there, though we've just found the Grand Okanagan resort and are on a search for bargain prices, though I think we've used up our luck on the front row seats, so that'll be unlikely.

Well the thing with the Royal Anne is that:
a) it's downtown
b) it's 2-3 mins away walking from Prospera Place

Same thing with the Grand, but the Grand's way more expensive. Though probably a lot nicer I guess.

An awful lot nicer. But we can't find anything cheaper than $199 a night, and since I seem to be able to get the Royal Anne for $140 total we're going to go with that.

It was $130 total for me back in September.
Royal Anne is the most probable place for me to stay too. But first must fine someone to go along. :nod:
