BggId: Sheila 		So, who's going to the National Eurogame Championships Memorial Day weekend in Bethesda at the Doubletree hotel? John and I are signed up. Open gaming starts Thursday at 7pm and ends when the con ends on May 30, Memorial Day.

BggId: rbynaker 		I'm still on the fence but I'll probably go for it. There's a bit more info on their website now. Pre-reg deadline is May 20th and there's a $10 parking fee on Friday (carpool anyone?) When it was mostly a rumor I heard gaming would start Thursday evening but I see no mention of that on the website so it looks like it's just Friday thru Monday.

Last day to book the con rate at the Doubletree is 4/26 (tomorrow!) so just a heads up about that.

BggId: Sheila 		Here is some info about parking in Bethesda:

A map of parking in Bethesda. There is a lot and a garage nearby. We'll be on Wisconsin near Rugby - up near the top. Expect the lots near the hotel to fill up with NEC goers.

Rates for the garage and lot:
http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/dpktmpl.asp?url=/content/DOT/Parking/Bethesda/bethesda-rates.asp

Where you can pay for your parking by cell phone. You need to set up an account ahead of time. You need to pay for most parking in Bethesda until 10 pm.

How you set up a pay your parking meter by cell phone account. There is a fee per transaction. I beleive it is .35. I believe long term parking is .65 per hour.

Also, it is 4 blocks from Metro.

If you are concerned about hauling games, here is a link to the games library:

Hope this helps.

BggId: rbynaker 		I just noticed the dropped the "at the door" prices and now they offer an open gaming pass for only $40. So if you're not planning on participating in any tournaments looks like there's no need to pre-register.
