Man, I hope y'all have a rocking good time at this one. Wish I could get up there but work might not allow it.

Are y'all going to come to Hollister in April?

Golden Gate Inn is the host hotel but it hasn't been setup yet.
There is no 'host' drum since there is drum contest.

The hotel SHOULD be setup by tmrw evening, April 30.
Golden Gate Inn - 718-743-4000 ask for the Powwow rate.

There is a Comfort Inn and Best Western on Emmons Avenue in Brooklyn if you look it up online but be warned it's ridiculously expensive.

So will there actually be any Powwow stuff going on Friday? Like GE, points, or stuff like that? Can folks register on Friday? I'm just wondering b'cuz it seems like the actual Powwow will start on Sat. at the 1pm Grand Entry based on the infomation given...
