Canadiana Suite FAQ:
What is the Canadiana Suite?
Besides a lovely jazz album by brilliant Canadian pianist Oscar Peterson, it is the room belonging to Dextra, Hellhound and the Gelflings at the Embassy Suites. There we invite all EN Worlders and ENnie nominees to drop by and sample Canuck foods, drinks, and games in a friendly, casual atmosphere.
How will I find it?
Unfortunately, we never know our room number until we check in, so we can't publicize it in advance. Drop by the ENnies booth to get the number, or simply go to the Embassy Suites and look up. We drape a Canadian flag over the balcony when the Suite, aka Lil Canadia is open to visitors.
Are those times firm?
Nope. We'll make every effort to get back to our room, but can't guarantee we'll be there exactly on time. Knowing me, though, we'll get there earlier, and hang the flag earlier. Seeing as how the Suites offer free booze to guests from 5-7pm, it might be a good idea to sit yourself down in the foyer, score some drinks, and just watch for the flag to be raised.
I'm under the legal drinking age in Indiana. Can I have a beer?
No. Try some poutine.
Can I bring my kids?
Please do! The Gelflings will be around, and they are ages 11 and almost-15. As a matter of fact, we're pimping out the eldest Gelfling's babysitting services over the course of the weekend. Please be advised, though, that I can't be held accountable for the language or behaviour of other Suite attendees, and some topics of conversation may be inappropriate for younger ears. The Gelflings tend to hide out in the bedroom watching cable TV or DVDs. Your kids are welcome to join them.
Can I bring my same-sex partner?
Hellyeah! We're in Lil Canadia, home of gay marriage, free healthcare, draft dodgers, and gun control! Welcome!
Do I have to speak French?
Bien non!
So what's a poutine, then? Is that something sexual?
No, you're thinking poontang. Poutine is a French Canadian heart attack on a plate consisting of french fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy. We bring cheese curds, and room service provides the rest (they're quite used to it now!)
Can I bring something?
Sure! Not everything need be Canadian, so if you've got a favourite snack or local specialty you'd like to contribute, by all means please do so! Chips/dip and baked goodies are always popular, although fresh fruit and veggies would be lovely. Cash will also do just fine to cover the other expenses.
What currency will you accept for your donations?
Canadian Tire Money, Canadian money (empty out your change jars!), US dollars and coin, thank you very much.
I'd like to run a game...
That's great! Unfortunately, the Canadiana Suite gets too full and loud to run a game. Use our space to collect your players, fine, then find somehwere else to play. We'll bring Beaver Hunt and maybe Krokinole, and see if other Canuck companies want to bring something along, though.
Will there be Barenaked Ladies?
Yes.
Wednesday evening:
