    Holiday Inn, can't remember the name of the one we stayed at last year. Definitely don't want to stay at the Hilton Garden inn though, that place is no good.

    Thats where we stayed last year i think. Not a long walk to the bars, but you have to drive or take a cab to the show. We walked it and it was quite a hike.

    Just camp instead. Lee's is cool but crowded... if you don't mind a 10 min drive after the show, I suggest Moerau Lake State Park. Its about 10 min on the North Way (Exit 18 or 19 I think... with SPAC being Exit 15) but its really really cheap, secluded sites in the woods, and a beach down on the lake.

    My GF and I have stayed there the last 3 years, met some really cool people last year.

    yeah we are actually planning on staying at Lee's. not hotels. i still need good hotel names for someone else tho.
    we're also planning on bringing directions to moreau in case lee's is full when we get there, just like what happened last year. like, we still plan on getting there the day before the night of the first show, but we figure everyone is thinking to do that after last year so, does moreau fill up quick?

    Yes it does fill up quick... but thats usually because the SPAC dates have been on 4th of July weekend, so lots of holiday campers. If the show is in mid August as rumored... it won't fill up quite as fast.... but I would still make the reservation the same week the dates come out. Thats what I do at least.

    Check out the 2005 (or even 2004...) SPAC threads for a look at where SPACers have stayed in the past.

    I think we need an official odometer. A word we can search that won't be used anywhere else. Just post the word in every spac thread so we can keep an accurate tally.

    SPLENETIC
    sple·net·ic (spl-ntk) adj.
    1. Of or relating to the spleen.
    2. Affected or marked by ill humor or irritability.
    n.
    A person regarded as irritable.


    if you search for it, there's only one other example in the Ctrl-V thread.
