In that case, yes... you should definitely have me come with, I'm right on the way if you're coming from UNI :P (no, really, I'm within 2 miles from your route, actually...)

the olympia has a special every year of $99 a night :P


no hottub in the room but you do get access to the spa lol

that would be pretty kickass. i'm going with two other girls (so far), we're going to stay at someone's house so it's free lodging. not quite sure about the details, though. i'll pm or text or call you when i find out more (don't want to take up the mgc thread with my canada hopes and dreams)

Not much of a story, really. Basically, it was 10 people's worth of noise (with quite a few people playing video games, for good measure) and the walls were paper thin. Someone apparently called the front desk to complain about it, person from the hotel knocked on our door and asked us to quiet down, so we did a bit. Didn't hear back from them.

Bump for great justice!

Pretty excited for this year's get-together. I promise to have something to show then, it probably won't be a portable this time, but it'll be just as good!

Am I the only one that finds it mildly pointless to bump a sticky? :P

Keeps the excitement up for something still 4 months away. :lol:

Marshallh, is it anything like what you were working on at MGC? Cause then I'm with Triton on knowing what it is..... likely not, but I have hope.

Kinda sucks for me, my spring break is in April (I know right). I still should be able to cut a few days of school.
