I spoke with the owner at the theater, they own the bar next to it also. He doesn't handle the bookings didn't even know the price it rents for lol
the girl that manages it i'll call on monday to get dates available then i'll probably just put down a deposit so we will be set there.
The hotel inn is trickier as to book the whole place they need a 50% deposit ouch! I'll cross the inn availability with the theater and see what weekends both are free. I'll also get info on how far out they usually are booked. It is a nice little town and the city of grand rapids is very close to see any attractions there.
I live about 35 minutes away and would be open to having poeple crash at my place, but that wouldn't be possible if I stayed overnight with the equipment at the venue. Obviously the Inn is the way to go but not sure how many people can commit to dropping the needed cash. I can't absorb a loss on lodging esp at tax time next year :eek:
