 * If you cannot use stairs, enter the hotel through the alley on its west side (opposite from Bond St.), ringing the doorbell beside the door with the wheelchair logo.  Go straight through the far door in the short hallway, through the registration area, turn to the right, and take an elevator down to the basement and the Piccadilly room.

		+	So one day before the event kicks off, I finally managed
		+	to get my final site visit scheduled with the hotel, and
		+	I have a few important items to report.
		+
		+	* I have negotiated $10/day parking at the hotel parking garage. This is half of their regular rate, and amazingly good for 24-hour parking in the neighbourhood. To obtain the rate, stop your car on Bond St. outside the hotel, go to the front desk and ask for a parking voucher for the Scrabble tournament. Then drive across Dundas to the parking garage (labelled Hotel Parking) on the NE corner, and show the voucher to the attendant as you enter. Do not take a ticket from the machine in the parking garage, or you will be charged the regular daily rate.

		+	I have unboxed the event Protiles, and they look nice!
		+	They are red, with white print, and are the newer international

		+	be better to bring one of the three other colour combinations
		+	we have used in the past.
