Capital City BMC


Lansing, MI.  The capital city.  A city of wonderful people, top notch restaurants and museums, beautiful architecture, gorgeous scenery, and home of the greatest beard and moustache club in existence.

ENTERTAINMENT:
We will be hosting a meet and greet on Friday (August 31) for all of you early arrivers.  Saturday is a day full of fun, as the Michigan Mosaic Music Festival will be in full swing, then the competition, then the after-party.  We will even be privy to witness a fireworks display.  On Sunday (September 2nd) we will host a greasy breakfast, perfect to chase away that hangover you built up.  The late breakfast may act as a makeshift meeting room for an Alliance meeting.  If you are unaware of what the Alliance is, feel free to ask, or ignore it.

LODGING:
If you are coming from out of town, The Radisson Hotel is a paper airplane toss away from the City Market and Oldsmobile Park (it will never be Cooley Law School Stadium to us).  You won't have to worry about transportation at all.  You're going to want to book early, as with the Mosaic Music Festival occurring, the hotel will book up early.

Your second best bet is the Couryard by Marriott Lansing.  It's only a couple minutes away.

We will work with the hotels to provide you a discount.
