Accent inn 250-475-7500. Tell them your coming for the show and they should give ya a good rate.

bump for a bitchin' show and a super fun weekend hosted by the cool folks in the vvwc!!!

great design for the posters & shirts!!! good job on that one!!

i'll second the accent inn (host hotel) as a good place to stay. might be a tad more $$ than a few other local hotels, but we have stayed there for the last 3 years and it's clean, the staff is friendly, lots of parking, there is a restaurant right next door, and it's centrally located!!

allright...i'm in!! :laugh:

i'm flying solo cause my better half (lori) is under the weather (she's super bummed she'll miss the volksfest-ivities...one of her favourite vw show weekends). it's pretty last minute so i'm not sure about accommodations, so if anyone has an extra bed/cot/couch/floor that they dont mind a skinny white dude sleeping on, let me know. if not, no worries, i'll figure it out!! :cool:

no worries dude, thanks for the offer, i appreciate it!

found an abandoned 80's chev van under the bridge down by the river by the rail yards...and i'm picking up some wicked wifi signal off the coathanger sculpture depicting the battle of gettysburg that my neighbour friend made! stoked! :laugh:

great day today, lots of mainlanders (reyda's, dvkk, zündfolge car club, strictly german) out for the pancake breakfast and cruise, the host hotel patio party was fun as always and the islanders are treating us very well!

big show tomorrow!!! :cool:
