| I got the OK from my wife (she wants to go down for the trip) BUT I have another problem -- no passport. I hear the border is extra tight as of Jan. 1, 2005 and I won't have time to get one... (but I will try) |

| I will look into the passport issue -- but I don't want to hold my breath. I hear the border is really locked up tight. As for lodging, yes, for two people. |

Garth - the Budet Inn in North Kingstown, RI has a room available for both Friday and Saturday for $57 per night. This Inn is about 20 minutes from the URI campus, and directly in MY path from my house to URI. I would be more than happy to pick you up and drop you off if you wanted to let your wife have the car for the day.
Here's a link to their reservation page if you want it:
http://travel.wwte1.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=dspv&itty=new&from=m&shtl=1&htid=896150
If you need any other information, please let me know. (And I hope that this trip is worth it for you.)  |

According to Canada Customs, I DON'T need a passport (as was previously threatened by both governments) so that hurdle is overcome. I am still leaning toward attending -- sorry that I can't be more positive for you!
As for the Budget Inn, thanks for the info. Unfortuantely, the link you gave me was for your 'account' ("My Travel Highlights" -- with no info., don't worry!) Can you send me the web address for the Inn itself? Thanks!
BTW, I will be at the Canadian Open in Toronto this weekend. Phew! Lots of BB! |

Sorry guys. I PMed my regrets to Opus. The drive just looked too long this weekend (busy week).
I hope everyone has a good tourney and I will see some of you at others in the next few months!

| I would like to personally thank Melifaxis and the other 4 attendees of the Rhody Rampage. Although the event was small and we started late and we only played 3 matches, I think I can safely say that a goo dtime was had by all. Especially Ogun the Flesh Golem, who scored his very first touchdown at my expense. |

| Bill Hincks' Dwarves, the Bugman's Brewers emerged victorious. PHil's skaven were second. I believe Mike's high elves were next followed by dark elves, my necros, and then Mark's norsemen with the wooden spoon. |
