I anticipate that I or we (wife) will be there, but I'm doing work on the car and am not yet ready to commit. I'm bad... I frequently don't sign up for Shasta until I get there... I know that doesn't help you guys who are trying to plan. I also have to coordinate with work and get coverage... The ER never closes!

I should have a new agreement signed tomorrow. Different hotel. Nicer. Cheaper. Closer to the "action". Wife approved.
You're welcome.

Awesome. I just figured out that there is a Starbucks and an ABC Restaurant within rock throwing distance from the front door of the hotel and a FATBURGER across the street.

Tel them you are with the Datsun Matsuri 2014 Group.
Quote Group #43696
Rooms only held until April 16
The rate is $115 plus tax (good for Kelowna at that time) based on staying for two nights
Regular rate (I assume)if you are only staying for one.
There are decent room options for any of you who may want to share. There are also some with kitchenettes.

OK, Finally registered.
I was waiting for the CAD to keep falling and I figured I could register for "aboot" (that's Canuck speak) $7 USD,
but Ross assured me the Loonie is on the rebound.
Here is REAL money not that artsy plastic Canuck money!
Ted.

Ted,
I think you are suffering from "Canuck Envy"!
See you in May or sooner.

Update time.
As of right this second

, we're at 20 registered with 75% being roadster owners. Thanks Ross for beating the bushes!
I wish there was a site like this one for Zs. Those Z owners are spread out all over the place.
Seems the Washington crowd is going to be a tough group to attract. They just seem to have a fear of crossing the border...especially the younger guys with the ratsuns. We're friendly enough. Must be the scary Canadian Border "Services" Agents or the pot convictions I guess.
Here's one for irony, I may be the only guy there with no Datsun this year!
A huge, heavy SnapOn shelving unit in my garage decided to collapse and jump on the driver's fender of my roadster

. The Z is in parts and the 521 is still waiting for its turn to be resurrected. Oh well, that will give me more room to put things in the bed of the Frontier for the drive out. Word of advice, don't put wheels on the bottom of your SnapOn shelves; the bottom plates on the legs suck.
