If you're traveling solo, you'd also be served to look at downtown Columbia hotels. Downtown has a lot of different districts; the Vista is the more grown-up area with a good mix of bars and restaurants, and is in range of the SC State Museum and EdVenture Children's Museum. Five Points (where I've lived for a little over two years) is tipped decidedly towards the college crowd, and definitely adults regardless; some issues over here with kids causing trouble late at night led to a youth curfew. The heart of USC lies in between, with all the ensuing energy and late-night eateries. (I endorse Beezer's, which makes reasonably-priced sandwiches insanely fast and until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning.) If you're looking at a place and want to get a feel for the surrounding areas, I might suggest local free weekly Free Times' Bites & Sights issue. (Or just PM me and I'll throw in my two cents.) Schedule is still getting finalized and will be published soon. ![]() |

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) 2011
May I also recommend River Banks Zoo, which is on the way towards Columbia from Irmo off of I-126.
The Harbison Blvd area contains just about every chain restaurant joint around (you know, the longhorns, outbacks, applebees, carrabas, etc), two cinemas, and countless other deals including Columbiana Mall. Definitely would be the area i'd pick a hotel to stay at. |

My last pre-SCRIW break is Saturday, when I enjoy the South Carolina State Fair and my first non-DSK concert in a while courtesy of The Roots (front row thanks to a quick mouse click). From then on: -Sunday: In the shop with the team fixing up the robot -Monday: Onsite meeting at Columbia High -Tuesday: Something, I'm certain... -Wednesday: Back in the shop with 2815, finalizing the robot fixes and putting the final touches on the SCRIW trophies (which are going to look AWESOME) -Thursday: A sleepless evening at the minimum... -Friday: Half-day of work, then gun it across town to Columbia High to meet the AndyMark truck and set everything up -Saturday: Onsite at 6:45 AM, leave when it's done. -Sunday: If anyone so much as JOKES about the caption contest not getting judged, so help me.... ![]() --------------------------------- Expect at least one more update before the event going out to the team contacts (and here on CD, of course). Hopefully we can put the workshop schedule to bed before the weekend--just waiting to lock down one last person, but if we can get 'em it ought to be worth it. Also, if you're interested in volunteering: Shoot me a PM. Particular focus spots include setup on Friday afternoon (start around 3:00 when we get into the gym) and referees. |
