May we know which hotel/motel it will be located at so we can at least make room reservations?
And valet parking on site?The Ypsilanti Marriott at Eagle Crest. We will have a custom website for reservations in a few weeks.

I hope parking will be included/free. At the 20th Miata Anniversary in 2009, the event almost collapsed when the resort tried to back out of including parking by requiring attendees pay whenever they left the parking area. Since the event included several drives, when that happened those of us who had registered started asking for our money back. The event organizers were able to talk the resort out of that idea. Why is it that these big resorts with multi-millions of dollars behind them charge for every little item such as WiFi access? Its funny that the smaller motels (both chain & independent) have free WiFi access for guests, but the big resorts charge their guests for it.And valet parking on site?![]()
I find there's an inverse relationship between the "level" of the hotel and charging for WiFi. Marriott Fairfield doesn't. Courtyard doesn't. Full service Marriotts do.Not only does it seem funny they charge for WiFi, but in this day and age where so many people have their own mobile hot-spots, you'd think they'd not bother.
Thanks for this info! I'm going to try this out on a trip soon. I've downloaded and installed the software.An employee at the local Verizon store suggested I download an app called pdanet for my Droid. It's a free download and allows you to tether to your computer, without paying any fees to Verizon.
Jon, you really should stay home!! you been to too many Fests anyway!If I only want internet that weekend I'll stay home.
Isn't TDIFest, like other local and regional GTG, about getting out from behind the electronics?
Maybe it's time to re-evaluate your priorities for Labo(u)r Day weekend.

~800miles and 11.5 hrs from Boston, under one tank is doable (advantage- B4V )!Hmmm... 569 miles and 10 hours away. I could make it there on one tank of Diesel...hopefully.
We're with you (and with you at your last fest)! Really want to make it this year!Great choice. Maybe I'll make this one: my TDIFest attendance rate has been pretty pathetic these past few years.
For those of you who weren't there, this may be hard to get. It was fun/funny!Ah yes, the traditional "Losers in the lobby."![]()
Should have been "hosers in the lubby" then, eh?The term "Losers in the Lobby" was coined in Montreal ...
Wait! Other TDI nuts don't sleep in their TDIs?Next someone will be making derogatory comments about those who went to their rooms to sleep instead of sleeping in their TDIs!![]()
I expect to do it in a B5.5 automatic too (but a more realistic 16 hrs. door-to-door).~800miles and 11.5 hrs from Boston, under one tank is doable (advantage- B4V)
Can't sleep, the next B100 station is next time zone over and closes in 8 hours. If I speed up, I'll use more fuel and run out before I get there. If I slow down to save fuel they'll be closed by the time I get there.Next someone will be making derogatory comments about those who went to their rooms to sleep instead of sleeping in their TDIs!![]()
