Weasel Moot XI

Click here for live tournament results.

The 11th edition of the Windy City Weasels’ signature tournament, the Weasel Moot, will take place June 23-25.

Where to go
Weasel Moot XI will be held at the Diversey River Bowl, located at 2211 W. Diversey Ave. (map), in the West Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago.  We’ll have the bar/restaurant to ourselves all weekend.

How to get there
For those driving, the River Bowl is just off the Diversey exit on I-90/94 and has a free parking lot.  For those taking public transport, the 76 bus runs directly from the Diversey brown line stop.  For those sailing, the alley is right on the north branch of the Chicago River.  For those flying, there is a helipad on the roof.

Where to stay
The nearest hotel is the Days Inn in Lakeview, where we reserved a room block ($278/night single, $296/night double; group code CGWEAS).  Other options in Lakeview are the Days Inn, The Willows, and the Inn at Lincoln Park. About the same distance from the alley in another direction are The Robey and The Hollander in Wicker Park, a funkier, more artsy part of town. There are also two nearby hostels: Getaway Hostel (Lincoln Park) and Urban Holiday Lofts (Wicker Park). All are easily accessible via public transportation. You might also try airbnb.com for some options within walking distance.
