My weekend for this event is pooched...
The Weekend of this event once again co-insides with TACCOM Canada.. I am in charge of setting up and tearing down the CSSA Booth.

Normally I'd setup, play tanks for most of the weekend and Sunday head back to tear down the booth.
This time around I'll be Quebec and I won't even be setting up the booth this year...

I'll see if I can get Victor to come out and battle a bit.
Sigh... Many battles in ED's honour! 

$10 for all you can eat chicken wings?  I'm missing that! ^%$%$#^%$

Are there no more battle days in September, October or November after this one?

Yessss..... the LAST WEEKEND BATTLE OF THE YEAR.

Lots more battledays check the schedule...

And where pray tell does it say all you can eat??? LOL!

And when is this ?

Ooops nevermind.

Please make sure you mark the forum guys, so we know what to do for food...

Freaking expensive hotel. What is it with Kitchener/Waterloo ? The Holiday Inn at St Jacobs is asking $200 a night again. 

Actually booked Victoria Motel because they were asking $76 a night. Then I read the review and realize I will also need to buy some drugs and get a hooker if I stay there, which would run way more than $200 so I cancelled it.

Back at the Inn of Waterloo and Conference Centre again, my usual hangout and in the middle of nowhere, away from any trouble I might get myself into.

St. Jacobs Friday and Saturday hotel prices are insane especially since the taxes aren't immediately shown unlike everywhere outside of Canada. I can get equivalent hotels in places like London for the same and even cheaper in Berlin or Munich. I used Hilton points the last multi day battle but this time I'll just spend the extra $70 in gas and 4 hours driving instead

This is why this will be the last year with weekend battles in Waterloo. Aquino is expensive enough ...

Also the majority of players come on the Saturday anyway. Even Hach is coming Saturday! :-)

The Victoria Motel would have been interesting 45 years ago I must admit

Just throwing it out there...have you out-of-towners considered sharing an airbnb or vrbo house?

Might be cheaper all things considered...

Even hotel room we can share, but getting too old to do that stuff now. If I am coming out every weekend I might consider it. 

Now just treat it as a getaway weekend without my better half.

It's not so much the cost of the room but the very high possibility of last minute battle day cancellations. That works for you local K-W people but not so much if you are paying $250 for a non refundable hotel rate. Much easier to just do the drive knowing sort of what the weather holds. The 401 construction is gradually being completed so the fall drives aren't so bad

Martin I only book refundable ones up to the day before so that’s not an issue for me. My complication is my schedule that I might jot make it due to work in addition to the weather.

Just wondering if it is possible for one of the mods to move this thread into the Battle Days forum?

THX mod for moving thread.

Looks like Sunday is going to be a rainout.

What weather app are you one Martin ? Mine says clear sunshine.

Weather Network. Says Saturday is going to be nice

We seen worst. 15% chance of 1-3mm is not a rainout mate.

I agree but not sure I'm going to bother driving up if only a couple of people come out. I'll decide when I wake up Sunday morning

For a change I am probably committed on Sunday since staying over Saturday night.

We will have some fun Sunday no problem...

The weather app says Saturday and Sunday will have great weather...here’s hoping.

Weather forecast has changed 10 times in the last few days though.
