(My terrible use of Google Translate, since my French is not strong enough to write this reply myself)

Les t-shirts sont destinés aux participants, et auparavant, nous ne les avions jamais expédiés à personne. Chaque participant qui s’inscrit a son gamertag au dos. Je ne dis pas non, mais plutôt que je n’ai pas vraiment de méthode en place pour le faire, et je ne suis pas sûr à 100% de ce que je ressens à ce sujet. Laissez-moi y réfléchir.

That's fine. I just want the full history out there. There would be no Achievement Fest without the involvement over the years of a few specific people.

There are cheaper options, but, quality does decline quickly down that slope. Many of use stayed at the Quality Inn, which, before eBash moved was fairly close and convenient. The rooms are cheaper, but still fine. But, now you are talking a few minutes away, as you have to pass the old eBash, all the other hotels, and then get to the new eBash.

I would avoid Travelodge. A group of us did that once. It was bad, I think we all got various sinus infections.

A few groups have had success with AirBNB/VRBO, however, the average prices on renting a house, plus the amount of fees added on top that are hidden, have drastically out paced hotels in the last 4 years, so, it might not be a great option, unless your group is specifically looking for that.

I will be at the Springhill Suites.
