Amerivespa 2011 - NOLA Scooterfest - June 16-19, 2011
This is a personal invitation to join us in New Orleans for Amerivespa. The NOLA Scooter Coop has prepared 4 days a of rides and entertainment "Nawlins Style." They've restored a Vespa Super for the raffle and Vespa has included a Vespa GTS. Kymco and Peirspeed will also be providing raffle scooters. Still working on more. 100 lucky registrants will receive a new Corazzo messenger bag.
This will be like a "Cirque du Amerivespa". It's going to be over the top fun for everyone.

The host hotel is the Hilton Riverside on the banks of the Mississippi just a few blocks away from the French Quarter. We encourage attendees to stay at the Hilton, a 4 star luxury hotel with great services and amenities. Amerivespa registrants who stay at the Hilton will receive a special New Orleans welcoming package (1 per room until the packages are gone).

Hilton
The Hilton gave us a $140 for a double. These rooms normally go from $229 to $349 rack rate. The rates are good until May 13. If you're staying before or after June 16-19, these rates will be honored 3 days before and after as long as you're there for the core dates.KRUSTYburger wrote:Aw man, no fair to those who can't afford the Hilton! Oh well, I can settle for a messenger bag *FINGERS CROSSED*!
