Really? I heard it was ok for a larger city.

ok, its not that bad, but i was spoiled by cbus, which is a really kickass city, there are just more ghettos in the natty then the cbus, there are really good roads close the natty though

Well we'll see what happens.

Please put me on the tentative list! ;-)

It's not that great. Even the metropolitan parts are often ghetto as shit. There's some really nice neighborhoods though, mt adams is awesome, hyde park, park hills. Northside and clifton are both hippy communal type neighborhoods where different groups live together fairly well, lots of vegetarian eateries though. :panic:.

Just stay the fuck away from over the rhine.

ok... so now I can lock in the dates... I need to know what everyone is comfortable spending... I'd like to go with a nicer hotel as the one we ended up with was shit compared to the price and reviews...

I was think'n if we can all scrape $150 each together... I think we could get into a decent place... that's $150 total per person... at 4 rooms with everyone who said they'er a definate and including those that are tenitive... that's 2550... but we'd need 5 rooms... so 5 rooms 5 nights... (wed night through Sunday) leaves us sitting at 102 a night. now I supposedly have $400 in vouchers... but haven't been able to find out if they're just in the system or what.

the other thing is... we need to figure out what days everyone is gonna be there...

I'm gonna be there Wed night for fucking sure. I really wanna do the pit walk and see all the days of practice.

if we only have 2 or 3 people who are gonna come up wed... then I'll just get one room for 5 nights... and the others will be for 4 or what ever you guys can swing...

but remember this is Laborday weekend... so you probably have monday off anyhow... so you may be able to swing an extra day off.


The only other issue is, we need to figure out how to go about paying for the room... I'm not sure I can swing putting $2500+ on my credit card for a year... and wait to the race to get the money from you guys... the intrest will kill me... and as I'm buying a bike, and a house... i won't have much left over to pay it off...


$150total is still cheaper than the cheapest hotels... ($90+ a night) so you won't do better on your own... so let's brain storm...

ha. try growing up around akron/cleveland... wasteland.


im down for staying wed-mon next year.

Indy GP Now there is a thought. I honestly haven't even considered it till now.
