Hey fellas, what's up ? I know that there are a lot of diverse people from all over the place
going to this show so, I'm asking any true PJ fan out there if they would be willing to share their
"crash-spot" with my wife and I for the night. I live outside of Buffalo, NY but it's still not worth the risk
to make the trip down the QEW just to get home the same night. I am willing to pay a fair share, I'm just trying to save a few bucks 'cause I know you can't get any rooms within 15 minutes of the venue for under
$100 USD. I am asking that only serious people respond. Let's not waste each others time.

What do ya think ?
Let me know, if you have a place nearby, a campsite, hotel, etc...

    for CAD$55, which works out to US$44, you can book a room through Priceline at the Westin Harbour Hotel which is a 10-15 minute can ride away from the venue,...

    Westin is a really nice hotel chain... with their "heavenly beds" and "heavenly showers"

    i love staying in the westins

    (although if the OP stays there... with the priceline deal... he may want to first check what parking will run per night)

    :)

    cheapest I have seen people getting this deal is around $55 USD..........

    my request was rejected for $55, but I was able to pick up a room for $57

    also it is only a little over two miles from the venue......could even walk if you had to :)

    Here's the deal ... after GST & PST and hotel tax and parking ... it's $100 like I said.
    I've stayed in TO many times it's always at least $100 for a room that I only need for about 6 hours.
    Thanks but I'd rather sleep in my car than throw money away like that. I was kind of hoping to hook up with some cool people and save some $$$ at the same time.
