Quoted from flashinstinct:I always want to attend this thing everytime I see it but I'd probably be the only canuck there and it would be a 10hr drive one way.
I'll chip in for your gas money! But what rkahr said; bring a friend to help drive. Hotels in Battle Creek (no more than 15 minutes from Johns house) run about $70 +/- a night (Red Roof Inn for $68). I know it's easier said than done, but John's party is a great time.
