Sorry if there is already a topic on this but was just curious...My friends and I, after Sakura Con, decided to go to Kumori Con on a whim...So i'll be ordering our hotel room and pre-register next Friday =) Yay...anyways yeah so all the Hilton is booked up~BOO~any other great places to stay?~Thanks ^.^

There's been all sorts of confusion about the Hilton so I'd suggest trying to get a room there before you call the other places. The nearest are the Econolodge downtown and the Red Lion at the Quay, just to the south.

I made a map bout it.

Thanks for the Map ^.^ I'm goin with 4 people so i hope they have a room with 2 beds! Yay i'm soooo excited...it'll be my 2nd con and i only went to Sakura Con for 1 day so its like a mini-vacation for me!

*Gasps* The Taco Bell is so far away!!! *dies*

don't worry, there's another one around the red lion xP

Yeah, I think if we could fly like crows the one across the river at Jantzen Beach might actually be closer.

Also, I've been told that it isn't a Taco Bell, but some different 24 hour taco place.
Hey as long as we can make a food run in Mustash's car at 4 am!

It's not booked up, try the hotel again!

The non-Taco Bell is called Muchas Gracias, at least barring any missing accents or such. It's a local chain of Mexican restaurants that is mostly in the Vancouver area but there are a few popping up elsewhere.

AprilMarie · « **Reply #6 on:** April 19, 2007, 10:53:04 pm »

Yup Yup! I read that post that some rooms were opened up at the Hilton & i got one! Yay!

Yeah Muchas Gracias!! They have a mexican stand downtown and they rock! Carne Asada chips are the best!

Not too much further up there is also a Dairy queen, in addition you are missing alot of places within walking distance, a mexican place, a pizza place, another thai place, the jerusleum cafe, a few burger grills, another mexican place, so trust me, no one will go hungry!

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #9 on:** April 24, 2007, 07:01:57 am »

There's a lot of local sit down restaurants but they don't show up on google. I'll post more the next time I have a chance to drive around downtown.

Plus, I was looking for takeout and fast food specifically, you know, convention food. Unless they delivery or you can call in orders for pick up they're not as important as the others for my map.

Also, I'm starting to cover up things with my labels and I'd rather leave some out than have to create a new map with a key off to one side.

Puck.....
Needing to know the liquor stores, and saying you're driving up every day.... and home every night?
Not a good combination. :wink:

I remember when I did this in 2005 there were people saying "Uh, do we really need to know where the liquor stores are? Nobody's going to go there." I just laughed knowingly.

TheInsanePuck · « **Reply #12 on:** April 24, 2007, 03:36:01 pm »

WEll the thing is I might drive and I might not if I drive my truck and I am drinkin I am just gonna crash in my truck other then that I am riding with my brother so he can drive my drunk ass home every night lol

and yeah I just find anime drinking games are the best.... that or if you really wanna get drunk play the labyrinth drinking game... watch the labyrinth and every time david bowies crotch or a lock is in the picture take a shot

Soubi · « **Reply #13 on:** April 24, 2007, 05:52:31 pm »

Provided that I can be quick enough, I should be staying at the Shiloh Inn....

AprilMarie · « **Reply #14 on:** April 25, 2007, 11:33:24 pm »

Soubi~Did you call and make sure that the Hilton is all booked up?~>Double check since they opened some rooms up a while back...

I'm just going with a hotel off convention campus. =/ Seems simpler. (And cheaper.)

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #16 on:** April 26, 2007, 07:56:39 am »

Well heck, if you found a cheaper deal at Shiloh then go for it!
Wow. Just make sure that you've got sunscree/umbrellas for the walk over, that's quite a ways to go and I have a feeling parking will be taken up pretty quickly every day.

Ah, you see, that is why you bring a friend with a bicycle or other means of transportation besides a car....
Omg....I'm thinking of the thought of seeing, like an Inuyasha and Kikyo just riding down the sidewalk on a bike...Lol...I have a pink bike....And my friend might dress up as Kagome....Hm....I'm having....what is this? This strange feeling-Oh, it;s an idea!

superjaz · « **Reply #18 on:** August 03, 2007, 08:58:07 am »

this year we will be at the hotel never relie on anyone else to book your room thats how you end up roomless

laurifer · « **Reply #19 on:** August 03, 2007, 10:44:46 am »

Ah well totemo, hitokiri, and I are all commuting everyday so we won't have any parking problems

elfenliedG · « **Reply #20 on:** August 03, 2007, 01:16:36 pm »

oh yeah, cant wait for the con now, i will probably get tipsy the 2nd day. it would be great to get a frickin drunk cosplay party together!lol well now that i think about it, its probably best to not get drunk at a con, bunch of kids and whatnot, but that night... woo!!! lol

melchizedek · « **Reply #21 on:** August 05, 2007, 09:47:02 am »

I am going to commute too, it would be cool to get some brews with other people in cosplay though that would just be so awesome!

Just not so much that I couldn't drive back, unless someone want to drive me back, but they have to drive a stick.

Trumby · « **Reply #22 on:** August 05, 2007, 10:54:12 am »

No drunk at the con is not a good idea, we've had to deal with that in the past and you will get booted out. Though what you do at night away from the con is your own business.

the_wind_the_sea · « **Reply #23 on:** August 05, 2007, 08:18:37 pm »

My friends and I are staying at the Shilo Inn.

rosaryblue · « **Reply #24 on:** August 14, 2007, 03:06:12 am »

I'm staying at the Hilton. Not that far to stumble to the room, drunk. Only when the driving's over.
