Glad to hear it!
I just made a quick Tournament Flyer to hang up at local hobby shops and added it to the web site, so if you'd like to help the tournament grow and want to hang a sign up at your local hobby shop it would be much appreciated.
I'll be hanging them at The Spare Time Shop, GW - Natick Mall, & GW - Harvard Square to begin. |

Mel ! I told you I would make it if you didn't do it in the hockey season! I will be attending the Beantown Brouhaha! and will most surely bring a fellow leaguer with me! I need to get down hard on the painting though! Only half of my squad painted so far!
Now, I need to know if there are some decent (read: clean sheets and showers) hotels or motels nearby at a decent price, cause we're still stuck with the shitty CAN $.
Beantown, here I (we?) come!

If anyone has trouble finding hotels in the Boston area, please let me know, and I will get information about hotels in the Providence area (only 45 miles south of Boston). I know it's not "optimal", but it may help. |

Thanks Opus. 
Here is a link for info on youth hostels in Boston. The Harvard Square stop off of the T (the subway system in Boston) is on the red line. This is probably the cheapest way to stay in the city.
http://www.youth-hostels-in.com/boston-hostels.htm
For those that want to stay right by the event, here is a list of hotels at Harvard Square itself. I'm still trying to find somewhere that will offer us a discounted block of rooms - more to follow on this (There are also Bed & Breakfasts in this link).
http://www.harvardsquare.com/directory.php?child=13&parent=HOTELS+%26+B%26Bs&cat=hotels#13
GW - Harvard Square is on 11 Dunster St. Cambridge, MA

Glad to hear it! I won't tell anyone you work for the hated Canadiens while you are down here to save you the beatings 
Feel free to register online. No one needs to worry about paying until closer to the event date. Hostel and Hotel info is above, but I'm trying to get a discount on a block of rooms so if you want to wait for that it shouldn't be too much longer. Just waiting on a few Hotel Managers to get back to me. |

Great Mel !
Tell me, are Woburn and Burlington far from the event? Cause I could get a deal there for that weekend.
Thanks !

Burlington and Woburn are about half an hour away. The hotels are calling me back, but I shot the Harvard Square Hotel down. They wanted $169/night as their discounted rate.
I live about half an hour west of Harvard Square and I know that hotels are cheaper west of the city. I'll look into those as well. Let me know what kind of deal you got so I know what to beat pricewise |

Good question!
Tournament fluff has been re-written with obvious theft from OMM and the TKC, but I liked his so much I modeled mine after his. |

The weekend rate at the below hotel is $89 per night and is about 20-25 minutes west of the event. Unfortunately, they would not offer a discount on a block of rooms like their Orlando counterparts 
Still searching for a hotel looking to make us a deal we can't refuse.
Courtyard Marriot: Natick
342 Speen Street Natick, MA 01760 USA
Phone: 1 508-655-6100
The Red Roof Inn right around the corner from there is $84 per night, but I would personally pay the extra $5 for the Marriot...
Red Roof Inn
650 Cochituate Road
Framingham, MA 01701
Inn Phone: (508) 872-4499 |
