FWIW, the only motel 6's I can think of in the area are relatively far from the venue. Assuming that you're going to cab it back to the hotel after the fest you may actually save money by getting a hotel downtown because you'll be spending so much less on transportation. -rudy I think you might be ...

Yup, it looks like we're going, just finalizing plans now and booking a room - we're going real upscale - MOTEL 6 baby! Ha! BTW - I called Consumer Beverages in Buffalo he still has tickets left, doesn't figure he'll sell out, so if you haven't got tix yet, maybe plan to head there (they open at 9am...

I guess I'm only partially suprised that there isn't much BUZZ going on about the festival this year... I'm taking this year off, having made a 'deal' with my wife, I went to Montreal instead, I think it was a good deal :) For anyone who's heading down, have a ball, and please post a review, I'm dis...

Excellent News! I have to say though, that I'm not suprised. I had a similar, very positive experience when I did the private order for Sierra Nevada (much smaller order). Let's be sure to send our thanks to Sylvia, and Inertia Boy - would it be appropriate to offer them both a collective 'gift' of ...
