Weav Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 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! http://spiketournament.com/ https://www.facebook.com/events/1027287624075234/?acontext={"source"%3A4%2C"action_history"%3A"null"}&source=4&action_history=null&ref=4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burk Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 As defending tribal league Champ, I kind of have to attend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaels Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'll be driving myself but still want to see if anyone's interested in doing a big house Airbnb. It drops the price to about $30-$40 per person for around 6 rooms/beds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 For me, I'd rather stay at the swanky hotel but if the others want to join you in an AirBnB, I will as well. However, I am checking with the organizers to see if they need the room nights, that may affect things too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weav Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 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.

michaels Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaels Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Here's kind of an idea of price range/area. https://tinyurl.com/ya5mm5jc That's filtered out for 2 people + but if more people want to come I'm sure we can find a 4 bedroom. I'd like to book it by the end of next week if anyone's interested in joining. I'll also be driving if people need rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbr Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 So I just came up with this stupid idea of 3 Vampires, 10 Thralls and Wilhelm Chaney. It wouldn't be a boring weekend, I can almost guarantee that. : 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbr Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 So I'm a bit late here but have final plans been made? I have a passport and time off from work so I am definitely going up. Is there room in the vehicle that is going up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'm at the mercy of Dan's shaggin' wagon...in other words, I dunno about a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weav Posted August 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Spike is over, and the huge news is that our very own @Burk placed second out of 48 coaches! With Goblins, no less!

jollyork Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Um, someone else finished tied for 1st place in Best Sportsman, only losing a tiebreaker based on record. I guess that doesn't mean anything around here anymore... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
