Where's the Summerfest Thread?

Holiday Inn is better, Super 8 is just a tad closer. Holiday Inn has eating places as well as Walmart within walking distance



I figure Holiday Inn is better. Super 8 runs about $80 a night where Holiday Inn is about $110. But if Super 8 is a yucky place to stay then I don't mind paying the extra a little nicer of a place. If it is clean and decent I will probably go with Super 8.

I have reservations at both right now! :)

Both have breakfast.

Both have in room refrigerators.

I am driving in from Indiana so closeness to stuff isn't a factor.

I just called SDC and no pre-registration is required. Holiday Inn & Comfort seem to be the best places, Super 8 a step down and cheaper and Comfort Inn an “Avoid”. One person described Comfort Inn as having rooms where you wouldn’t want to take your shoes off let alone sleep in the bed.

As for extra stuff (balloons, biplanes, etc), I was just told by SDC that they have none of the above for this year. I hope this doesn’t turn out to be a “poor man’s” version of Summfest compared to previous years, I can jump Otters and Skyvans without the need of an international flight.

Hey! Does anyone know if we can pre-register for the boogie?

Also, which hotel would you recommend Super 8 or Holiday Inn?



Oh come on Kim, tenting it out is the way to go! What's a Boogie without squeezing as many people into a tent as possible and tripping over empty beer bottles in the middle of the night while searching for a good spot to pee? :P

Looks like I may not be going due to not having insurance if it turns out I'm not covered. :(



It's always safety first around the DZ with you Skittles :ph34r:

Is Comfort Inn the best or bad? I'm confused by what you wrote.

I was surprised that the cafe is not expensive. Dinners normally run between $8 and $12 depending on what they're having. Lunch will run you around $6. You're own your own for the alcohol.

I have a trailer for anyone interested

2 separate beds (almost like two rooms)
Air conditioning
Refrigerator
Right behind the showerhouse (so no long walks in the morning)
Walking distance from Tiki bar and Hangar

$60 a night - split it with someone else or have it all to yourself.

You can buy food at the DZ cafe and beer at the Tikki bar if you do not want to cook or bring alcohol. :)


And is there enforcement on under 21 drinking?


LOL. Yeah, they card you before you step foot on the dz, then you get a wristband, and if you're under 21 you get followed around by a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. If you are caught drinking without a legal ID, you will be branded on the forehead with the words "ye olde drunkard" and left in the pillory for the night.

It's a freakin dropzone. Just don't pull a Skittles.
