The most important thread of the year...the Spike!

Recommended Posts

Other than the Ordo Bowl, the Spike Tournament is my favorite time of the year. The event takes place near Vancouver, British Columbia Canada and it is amazing fun. The group that runs Spike know Blood Bowl and their tournaments are always a great time. This year, the venue looks amazing! You newer guys missed the nautical themed hotel, the pink palace and the old folks' hall...but the new place looks fun.

Once again, I'm attending and I'll be driving our Outback. I have spots for five people, with Burk, Blustorm, Savion47, Frostitute and me already reserved. If we got enough interest, we've discussed renting a van for a large Ordo group...let me know if that interests you!

Maybe you should look at the hotel for this year...*eye roll*

Why look? It's a ROOM at a hotel. I've stayed at lots of hotels & I've stayed at airbnb's. I'll never stay at a hotel again if I can help it. For the same price or cheaper I can get a whole house with a kitchen, laundry, a yard & a private bedroom. *superultramegaeyeroll* :biggrin:

I've booked my room. I'm staying with @Burk, @savion47, and @Blustorm at the event hotel. Book now! The code is W14, and it took over $100USD off the total. Search Marriott for Delta Hotel in Burnaby, BC.

@jollyork, @ROGRE, @Frostitute have you considered accommodations yet? I know @michaels is a huge fan of AirBnB but I haven't seen any posts about one. I'm still hoping @kb10r and @Rhuntar can join us and any first years as well.

I need a head count for Airbnb. @sbr mentioned it but he'll have to go get his passport instead of being lazy & useless. :)

Generally it'll be in the $40-$60 a night range & I try to book where no one has to share a room & there's 1 bathroom per two people. A/c, a yard & w/d are also in my list of nice things to have. I was planning on staying until Monday morning unless anyone has an issue with that.

My passport is officially in the works so I am 99.9% going up.

I would be fine with staying until Monday.  I might even stop in Seattle on the way home to see my daughter and take a bus home from there later Monday or even Tuesday.  That's a long way out though.

Spike is over, and the huge news is that our very own @Burk placed second out of 48 coaches! With Goblins Morg, no less! Burk had four wins and two draws, going undefeated...amazing achievement!

Fixed.  :D  Was a great time and looking forward to next year.
