The event will be held June 17th and 18th (2006) at GW - Harvard Square!
GW - Harvard Square has been a wonderful supporter of our event and would love to have us back. The A/C in the battle bunker has left much to be desired, but we keep moving the event earlier in the year so hopefully this will be the year we avoid that Sweltering Heat roll  I will also bring additional fans, plenty of beverages, and work with GW to keep things as cool as possible.
Event Sponsors:
Games Workshop - Harvard Square
Games Workshop - Specialist Games
The War Store
Impact! Miniatures
Among others, prizes will include a Human Team, Lizardman Cheerleader, Ressurection Gutter Runner, Impact! Snow Troll & a $50 Gift Certificate to The War Store!
I'll update this post as I firm up plans for Brouhaha III. If you have suggestions please feel free to PM them, e-mail them, or post them 
Please register for the tourney ahead of time if you plan on attending so I have a better idea of headcount. Thanks  |

Can we do it this weekend?
YES...I am that excited about my return to Boston!
-Rob
Serious Question...When you say that the Harvard Facilities are out of our price league...are you talking about the college proper, or the Harvard Square location? Otherwise, are you thinking of moving the event for climate control reasons?
Would another venue in that area be out of the question? There are several hotels in walking distance from where the first 2 have been? Would they also be cost prohibitive since it is a college town?

| Hotel conference rooms are typically quite expensive. If Harvard is out maybe look into local church halls. |

I'm busy the weekend of June 10. I have a slight interest in going to Toronto the weekend of the 16; but I would definitely stay in town for the BTBHH instead if that date works.
It would be nice if we could sort out the date in the nearish future though. If I go to Toronto, it would be to help run the gaming room at Gaylaxicon, and if so I'd like to try to organise some Bloodbowl for that if the Toronto crew were interested in playing.
There are four church halls right in Harvard Square that might work out. I could also brainstorm on other potential sites later when I have more brain cells. (got back from Montreal Monday evening, Homeric Greek class Tuesday night, Comparative Religious Ethics class with a paper due tonight.... give me the brain, the martini olives are staring at me.... )
Cheers,
Mo |

I'm talking about the University. It would cost about $1000 for the event. As if they need it with the size of their endowment 
I can still look in Harvard Square. Holding it at the GW store itself again is not out of the question, but the lack of effective A/C is the largest complaint I receive, so I'd like to do something about it.
I started making calls to potential locations to get quotes. Thanks for the input thusfar, and please keep it flowing |

The GW store isn't itself bad. it's like you said just the AC issue. Holding it outside of the city though might help to reduce costs a little. Motel rooms and event rooms are always more expensive right in the middle of town.
Harvard wants $1000 for the space??? |

| Yep, $500 per day! I'll look at both Harvard Square and at locations west of Boston. |

| If GW isn't available, what about Danger Planet Games in Waltham? It's less MBTA friendly, but I believe they have a regular league that plays there, which could mean additional players. I also don't know the area all that well, so I don't know if it's lunch friendly. It has to be cheaper than 500 a day though. |

| $500 per day for a classroom? They smoke some pretty good weed over at Harvard. They must import it from MTL |

Hey! Back on the forum after a long time!
Yeap! Rob has been nice enough to forget about the June 24th week-end, Quebec's national holiday and for other reasons, a weekend that is hard for me to be away!
OK, if Harvard is too expensive, what about taking a look at the different hotels in the area with a conference center? They might even be interested in doing a special package on rates for those of us who would stay there!
Just my two cents!
