LODGING INFO!!!!
UPDATE!!
Hey guys,
We went to sort things out with the Holiday Inn today and found out the Holiday Inn is completely booked up for that weekend except for King-sized rooms starting at $209 a night. I doubt anyone wants to get in on that.
For those who haven't booked yet:
Motels are a better bet and the Rest Inn is a cheap one that is relatively close to the event location. It would be about a $10 cab ride if people want to drink in the evening and can't drive to get back to the motel, which makes it $2.50 each person if you fill a cab. Or get a designated driver. Their phone number is (613)546-6616.
They gave us a deal of $75 a night for two double beds. Mention 'footbag' to get the discount.
That makes it about $18 a night for 4 people to stay in a room on beds, or for the truly thrifty, you guys can arrange floor space or something to cut costs as long as you don't mention it to the people at the front desk.
You have to book by Sept. 24th to get the deal!
Holiday Inn Info
2) Most people will be staying at the Rest Inn, but some will stay at the Holiday Inn, rooms are $165/night for two double beds.

Here is how that will work best:
- You should all arrange yourself into groups of four to six people.
- If people are willing to sleep on the floor then the cost is about $27 per person per night
- Have the person with a credit card (most likely needed) call (613) 549 - 8400 and make a reservation. I will have them hold rooms for us.
Please don't cancel if you've already booked with the Holiday Inn. We need a few people to stay there to use their facilities as our venue for free. If you can afford it, think of it as saving some cab money since it's the closest hotel to all the event sites.
The Holiday Inn is at 2 Princess Street.
Directions to the Holiday Inn:
*will post tomorrrow*
2) There are many cheaper hotels that are further up princess street but none are nearly as convenient. I will post a list of good alternative suggestions tomorrow.

Schedule: (this will all be in the players manual, along with maps and stuff)
Friday Sept. 29
Players should aim to arrive any time Friday afternoon.
When you get to Kingston go to your hotel first! (the Holiday Inn will be #1 on the map I post real soon)
Check in, get settled and then pack a bag with your shred stuff and head over to Confederation Park, it is very close. (Location #2)
The plan is to have a casual shred and four square afternoon chilling out in the park.
If you get to the park and no one is there call Peng or Tom!! If the weather is not nice we will either be at the Holiday Inn or at KFM Shredquarters, call us either way. The KFM Shredquarters will be location #3, it is 160 A Princess Street for reference.
We will stay at the park until 7 - 8 or so and then everyone will head to their rooms to get washed up and then PARTY AT KFM SHREDQUARTERS!!!!
At the party there will be a special live performance by MATT CROSS!!!!
He will be laying down an intimate set for us lucky shredders! Stoked!
The party will be relaxed and casual, we need to save our energy for a BIG Saturday! The party will probably wind down around 1 - 2 AM.
Saturday Sept. 30
The Saturday shred will be at the Holiday Inn in the Holidome.
The Holidome is sick!! There is a pool and sauna and hot tub and it's carpeted!!
If the weather is really nice we should shred at Confederation Park again, it's a really nice location and it's right next to the hotel.
MOST LIKELY we will be offering a meal plan. I discussed the possibility with a caterer today and he quoted me a price of $30/person for two days of breakfast and lunch. The idea is that breakfast and lunch are taken care of sat and sun so that no thought or BS has to go into that. Getting ready to shred is most important!!
Competitions will be held at some set time, all the comps except for finals of Circle and Sick 1/3 will be held at the Holidome.
Around 5 - 6 things will end at the hotel and everyone will head off to shower and find dinner. **Dinner can be done in groups!!**
Saturday night will be SICK!!!!!!!!
At night we will be at Juice Night Club.
There will be two very good DJ's dropping beats all night. We will have the club to ourselves!!!
Finals of sick 1/3 and circle will be held at the club.
We will do the comps when the time is right and then dance and party until 3 AM or so.
FUN!!!
Sunday Oct. 1
Sunday will be very casual.
People who want to shred can do so at the Holidome or at Confed.
For those interested there will be footbag trials and footbag golf offered on Sunday. Both of those events will be held on Queen's University campus.
All of this info and LOTS MORE will be in the players booklet, so don't worry too much about remembering it all. In fact, I wrote way way more than I should have. If you are keen are read it all.. uhh.. sweet!
SEE YOU ALL VERY SOON!!!
