hey....an FYI for those of you still scrounging for lodging for this weekend. there is a private hostel at 74th and CPW that still has rooms for $120/night for friday, saturday, and sunday nights. you can fall out of bed and be on the trials course.....and with the 7am start, who wants to commute into the city at 5:30am, park a car, etc, etc.....
the guy has been a little strange to deal with, but seems to be AOK.
