Vanier 2018 - Vive le Quebec! it's bbbaaaaaaaacccckkk (65 sleeps)


Salut Mes Frères!

 

it’s game on in Quebec City for Vanier on Nov 23-25!!!!  Soooo happy to have Vanier back in the best host city ever for Vanier Cup… they have a tailgate that beats most NFL games. You are on this list because you deserve to have a great weekend with great friends. Bus and hotel are lined up.  The Executive met tonight and it’s full steam ahead… and there is good news on all fronts;

 

  • The Vanier Pere-Noels return to Le Belle Province! I have the ironing board from the last QC trip.
  • Our favourite hotel, (Hotel Chateau Laurier) has not revamped the rooms and they have not just our one…but 4 wine machines now! I have no doubt that our positive Trip Advisor reviews, touting the merits of the “automated wine disbursement system”, were the inspiration for more machines! Given our tenure, they gave us preferred rates of $139/night. “Start the car!!!” https://old.hotelchateaulaurier.com/en/hotel/about-us/history/ (for new people)
  • Game Tickets will be cheap but have not been released yet. As always, Quebexican stadium liquor laws are more lenient than Jamaica. Ie. Jerred: “6 Bud Light pls… leave the ring, Merci ”
  • We are upping our tailgate game… in addition to crowd-fave legendary candy cane shooters, we will have some new food and refreshment options. (Please await press release)
  • Darin has found a steak house for our traditional Friday “slack night” dinner …. when translated, their motto says “ Immense Good” …. I think that sums it up. Of course if there are still many alternative options including the delightful St. Hubert attached to our hotel.
  • After last year’s hiatus/boycott from Hamiltoe (except for Adam), it’s time to make new memories ; https://www.facebook.com/VanierCupSantas/  AND http://vaniercup.blogspot.com/
