I'd also be up for lunch on Saturday and walking some of the art fair with others, if anyone is interested in that.

Couldn't make last year, but this year I will make sure I'm there.

MSU Rules, GO GREEN GO WHITE. Sorry had to write it down. :)

GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!

I already have my hotel res, haven't booked my flight yet.

Hmmm...I will be moving to Ann Arbor in August to be a poor student again, but I don't think I can make it to the DO in July :(

This sounds like a great idea. A DO I can do.
Which hotel would work best to be where the action will be?

Last year, some people stayed on Boardwalk, which is near South State Street, across from Briarwood Mall. There is a shuttle that runs to the art fair from the mall. And for those looking for a decent use of SPG points, I checked availability at the 4 Points.

3000 Starpoints for Stay
Category 2
Four Points by Sheraton Ann Arbor
3200 Boardwalk

Available Saturday July 22.

And for those looking to maximize points, you can stay for 2,000 at the 4 Points at the airport, which is 25 minutes away.

I knew you were a classy person :D

I should have known..........I use to think so highly of you, oh well not everyone could be perfect like MSU grads :D

the ENTIRE city sells out for the fair...book early (the fair is downtown A2), cheaper options would be to stay at the airport (about 20 mins away)

The closest full-service Marriott is in Ypsilanti, so that's where I'll be.

On 2nd thought maybe you are perfect afterall :)


BTW: I'm going to try and make it...put me in the possible category

Count me in - perfect way to wrap up Art Fair week.

I doubt that I'd go to the Art Fair, but I might be playing golf in that part of the world that weekend (working on a SE Michigan / NW Ohio golf tour for around that time) and would try to make dinner.

I reserved the Holiday Inn Express at Briarwood so I'm in. :cool:
