i'm volunteering in the media area for the world champs in august and was wondering if anybody had any tips on places to stay cheap in edmonton (since i'm covering all of my own expenses including travel) in town...in the past, i've even gone as far as camped out an hour away (in knoxville for the ncaa champs in '95), so i'm not picky... i've checked with the local hostel in town, but it's booked up with a long waiting list... the host web site (www.2001.edmonton.com) has a link to locals renting rooms, but the canadian $ prices are still fairly high, so if anybody has any suggestions or friends up there willing to work something out, or if you're in a similar situation and want to share cheap quarters, drop me a line sincerely, g -------------------------------------------------------------------- Geoff Thurner Assistant Director/Publications Coordinator University of Oregon Media Services - Athletics Len Casanova Center 2727 Leo Harris Parkway Eugene, OR 97401 Phone: (541) 346-2250 Fax: (541) 346-5449 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.goducks.com GO DUCKS!! - GO DUCKS!! - GO DUCKS!!
