Sweet Dave!!! Can’t wait!!!!  Glad u can make it.  Again for people staying out of town I will provide my basement.  It is finished and carpeted.  One bed available.  Bring air mattresses and sleeping bags if u want to stay he night. We can play mage wars Friday or Sunday as well. I will set up some tables and chairs.

I am planning on making it. might take you up on the offer for the space too. we can decide as we get closer. dave and I can carpool over. I think also may bring another too. will keep you up to date as I know more.

[DaveW]

I am going to get a room at the hotel, if I can... I planned other events Friday and later Saturday night.

[DaveW]

Hey... the Net says that the Hawthorn Suites are permanently closed... where is this being held again?

Seems strange that I signed up for it, and didn't even notice where it was....

Hey... the Net says that the Hawthorn Suites are permanently closed... where is this being held again?

I just found the note on the WW site that notes that the hotel will be open again in time for the con... you just have to call them to reserve a room since there is no web site to use to do so.

Just a heads up that registration is now open for Winter War. https://www.winterwar.org/

The Hawthorn Suites are located at 101 Trade Center Drive, Champaign, IL 61820, and can be reached by phone at (217) 398-3400. Mention that you are attending Winter War to learn about the convention room discount! This is the location of the event.

There are lots of other hotels in town though for booking rooms if needed. According to the Winter War website, Hotel Update
The Hawthorne Suites are still undergoing renovation, but will be ready for us in time for the convention, so no worries there. They don't currently have a website for you to book through, so if you want to reserve your room, please make sure to call them. You can find the phone number listed below.

I thought that it was becoming a Holiday Inn though. I'm not 100% confident that it is still Hawthorne Suites, It shows up on IHG (which is Holiday Inn I think). I talked to Susan though (one of the organizers) and the number is supposed to work for reservations at least.

I know several people who are planning on going. the Wisconsin crew is going. davew and I are going. coshade may be able to make it if puddn is able. some others are trying to get time available to make it too.
have not heard from the stl crew if they can make it yet or not. should be a great turnout and awesome time. really looking forward to it.

Have fun guys. Hope to see some footage from the event

with cohsade coming, I think that is a real possibility.

[farkas1]

Looking forward to Winter War!!! Less than two weeks away.  We have four registered but I know a lot of people register and signup when they get there.  I think we have 10-12 if everyone that says they are competing join us. 

We will game it up Friday night and Saturday after the event too if you stay the night at my place.  I have more room for people to Stay because  my wife and kiddos are going on a trip that same weekend.

So let’s mage wars it up fellows!!!

super stoked about the event too.
