Hay Mavs, sorry about the car situation. On a more pleasant note, I'm starting to look into planning my trip to Mankato in October. What hotels are close by the rink? Or on/near campus?
Quick check in from Quebec City. Enjoy the day, Lodgers.

Well, some people buy a car because they love cars. Some people look at them as something you need but only care if they are functional
I’ve been driving a 2001 Camry for 10 years now. No payment has been fantastic. Engine still works fine, but the body is finally starting to go. Have a pretty nice crack/rusted out piece in the frame — basically it’s not a town car.
I was hoping to get another year or two out of it and then finally get a truck, but I just don’t think it’s the smartest idea to go the truck route right now. (Was looking at 2014 Silverados and they’re still $30,000) Trying to find something reasonable I can pay cash for, continue without payments, and see where I’m at 12-18 months from now.

Our rink is actually off campus downtown. I’d stay at the Hilton Garden Inn (Civic Center Plaza).
BU will likely be staying there and a skyway connects right to the arena.
It’s also right down next to some solid bars and restaurants — you will be having Pagali’s Pizza when you’re here — it’s two blocks from there as well. (It was voted #1 Pizza in MN last year or the year before I believe )
I presume you’ll be able to get tickets through BU, but let me know if you need help on that front. Being the first series and a big name opponent, I’d anticipate good crowds if not a sellout, especially Saturday night.
