HOST HOTEL INFORMATION

Our Host Hotel for the 1rst annual CEM is "L'appartement Hotel". It's so 
close to the tournament site that you can actually crawl from one place to 
the other. They offer appartments instead of just rooms. Each one has a 
kitchen, dining room, living and a bedroom with a bed for 2. There is a 
hide-a-bed couch in the living room. We also have rooms with 2 separate 
bedrooms + hide-a-bed. 

The rooms are just HUGE and ultra clean. And I checked out the TVs to 
make sure you can plug your video camera in them. Not all hotels allow 
that. 

1 bedroom = 134$CAN / night (up to 4 people)

2 bedrooms= 184$CAN / night (up to 6 people) 

The registration Deadline is June 15th. You need a credit card to make 
reservations. It's important to mention that you are taking the room for the 
footbag tournament otherwise you will not get the rates listed above. Just 
mention *foobag* to save a few $ ! The toll free number is listed below.

HOST RESTAURANT INFO

We tried really hard to find a restaurant that had some freestyle move in 
its name.  So our host restaurant this year is "Le Café Barroque".  We 
have a whole floor of the restaurant to ourselves.  Everybody gets a 10% 
discount on their bill.  And last but not least there is a vegetarian as well 
as a vegan menu.  Oh! And it's less than 5 minutes walking from the site 
or the hotel!
