Does any one know of any good restaurants in Kitchener, preferably near the hotel and/or venue? That is- good restaurants that have at least one vegetarian dish.
My favourite restaurant is Del Dante's, but it's a bit on the fancy side and not within walking distance of the Walper Hotel. (It is right beside the Radisson Hotel and near the Comfort Inn and Holiday Inn though)

whoohoo, looks like I missed this thread. I booked the Walper a few weeks ago and can't believe how many rooms have been booked by the board. Great guys!! Lets have a decent party at the hotel bar after a wonderful concert. Can't wait to go.....
There was a question as to whether The Walper had a hotel bar. I called the hotel this morning and they do indeed have a pub. Don't know if it's located in the hotel or off to the side.
Regardless, we have a place for Pre-show and Post-show festivities.

Here is the last bit of good news for the Kitchener crowd: anticipating the rather large contingent of Pearl Jam fans who will be descending on the hotel for the night of September 11th, Janet has already started to make arrangements with the pub that's located on their premises. Those who are part of the 10Club will be given discount vouchers, in effect encouraging us to avoid disrupting other guests by keeping us drunk and happy and all together in the pub! I thought that was pretty cool.
This is one of Moloko's earlier emails regarding partying at the hotel in Kitchener. Note that we get 'DISCOUNT VOUCHERS' woo-hoo.

Do they have any rooms still available for that night? I already booked my room but I'm hoping that we all sell the place out! It will be nice to put faces with all of the names on this board. My girlfriend and I are making the drive to Canada and we can't wait to meet all of the dedicated and faithful PJ fans that travel along with them! Only 40 more days!!!!!!!!

The Hotel is sold out for September 11th, 2005, thank you. The music is
through Digital Cable and we do have a CD player as well.
In regards with the 10% off in the Rum Runner Pub; this is on food only. It
is illegal to give discounts on alcoholic beverages here in Canada. I do
apologize for the misunderstanding.
If there is anything else I can assist you with, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

10% off food? wow can they spare us the charity?? we friggin sold out the hotel?? probably for the first time ever
moloko - i'm definitely not venting at you here... guess the possibility of free booze got me all excited
how much is it to book an open bar for a "private party"??
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they originally told me there would be drink specials, but I don't know if I'd be able to produce an email declaring that. They might have said something intentionally vague over the phone.
But that was only an added bonus anyway, and since they comp'd my room I feel silly griping over something so petty.
The good news is that they've got a CD player!
"no, i can't give you full credit, but i'm not gonna flunk you either. you're all getting incompletes."
They are all booked for the 10th as well. I just called to book it, and they are full. So, I'll be across the street at the Delta Saturday, and in the Walper on Sunday. Serves me right for waiting so long to book the Saturday reservation. GRRRRRR. Good to hear that we will have access to the pub. Thanks for all of the legwork!
What ain't a country I ever heard of. Do they speak English in what?
The good folks at the Walper hotel have been nice enough to allow us room at the Rum Runner Pub to do a fundraiser for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of Canada.
We will have volunteers from the CCFC on-hand to take donations, sell "Got Guts" bracelets and supply information about Crohn's Disease.
This is the perfect opportunity to support, not only Mike, but a great cause in general.
We are working on a similar fundraiser at Rockwaters in London, but we're still waiting on permission from bar management.
Thanks in advance. Can't wait to see all of you in Canada.

Great! I waited too long too because I wasn't sure when we would be arriving. Do you have the phone number for the Delta?

I don't know much about the restaurants downtown near the Walper and the Aud but hopefully some of these links will help you out:

http://www.pathwaysmaps.com/ --> click on "View our Touring Maps" and then select "Kitchener" for a handy map of the area.
I KNOW! I've never wished summer away like this before. Thank God for the Gorge show so I have something a little sooner to keep me from going insane
See you all at the Walper.
Thanks. Good websites. El Dente sounds awesome. I wish it was close to the venue though cuz we won't have much time in Kitchener.
See you in Seattle!
And then the Walper, of course.
Yes, and then at London and Hamilton !!!! And then I'm gonna cry all the way home. I can't believe I just let myself go there.

Keep your eyes open, eventually something will happen....
Regardless, we have a place for Pre-show and Post-show festivities.

My pleasure!
anyone wants to get into the walper you might want to give them a call
there's an opening unless they have some sort of waiting list
so Pearl Jam has started to sell out hotels as well.
Cool
good work Joe!
