I was wondering if my name has to be broadcast on this site once I’ve registered. Also how much is registration and what does it involve.
with thanks,
Cas

You can have an “unlisted” registration, but most people want to see themselves as part of the list. It is $145 Canadian, about 100 Euros. Gives you premier seating at the events at the Winspear etc. More details of events and artists and venues will emerge over the next month or so.
November 4th, 2007 at 23:31
thanks for letting me know that Kim. Much appreciated.

will prices quoted for the westin hotel change in the coming months or is it okay to go ahead and book
November 8th, 2007 at 14:01
The prices for the Westin are our prices specifically under the contract for the 2008 Leonard Cohen event. They will not change in coming months. It is OK to go ahead and book.
November 15th, 2007 at 7:03
Hi there,
Could you please tell me a bit more about this event? I just found it as I was reading Leonard Cohen’s website. Will Leonard Cohen be there at the event and can anyone attend?
Thanks so much! :)

Where are the Irish members?
December 4th, 2007 at 10:20
Aha! when is the deadline for signup, hm? :)
December 9th, 2007 at 17:04
Other than reference to the Westin Hotel, in terms of proximity to the event location, there is no discussion as to the distances from the other recommended “accommodations” and the event centre.
Would you please update for various reasons.
Thanks.

Please get back with me regarding a refund that I requested.
Thank you

The Holiday Inn Express and Days Inn are 5-6 blocks from the Westin and the Winspear. An easy walk. The university campus is a 5minute LRT ride from the hospitality suite at the Westin - and it is only a $7.50CAD taxi ride. All the venues we have planned (and hotels suggested) will be within an absolute MAXIMUM hour’s walk or $12 cab ride of the Westin Hotel and the Winspear.
Tori will deal with registration questions rearrangements etc. tomorrow.
Leonard Cohen will not be attending the event.
Best regards. - Kim

What is the policy re refunds? Unfortunately, my situation has changed and it looks like I may not be able to attend the event
:o( I will really miss seeing everyone.
I registered some time ago and would like to know how to proceed to cancel my registration request.

Hi Shirley,
Yes, refunds are easy. Tori and the people at GoBigEvent can take care of it. So sorry you cannot join us.
Best regards. - Kim

I am trying to work out which hotel/hostel to book. However, for most of the activities, the location is not supplied with the activity (e.g. where is ‘registration’). Or for some given locations, there is no entry on the ‘Event Location’ page (e.g. Masonic Hall). Can somebody put all necessary locations on a map and supply all locations for each activity? Maybe then I’ll be able to work out which hotel/hostel to book.

Registration and most activities are in the Westin Hotel. The Winspear Concert Hall is just across the street from the Westin. We are working on interactive maps of both downtown and the University area, as well as a noninteractive map of Whyte Ave. so you will have a better idea of the wealth of interesting places to go and things to see!

Starting the evening of March 3rd there was a glitch in the registration software that caused it to reject valid credit cards. This was corrected this morning. We are very sorry about the problem. If you tried during this period of March 3-31 to register and were unsuccessful you can just start the registration process again and it will be successful. If you were already assigned a registration number from before you can abandon it and it will be eliminated as an unpaid duplicate. Now that this problem has resolved registrations have tripled! If you want to register without your name appearing on the registration list on this website you can Email Pawel Gorny with that request.
All the best. - Kim

Ok, so how do I register?
April 4th, 2008 at 12:16
Now it works properly
April 4th, 2008 at 14:49
Thanks, Pawel. I registered this morning. Look forward to seeing you and the rest of the Cohenistas.

How does one volunteer for this event?
April 10th, 2008 at 6:42
Send Email to Lila Klassen at lila.klassen@gmail.com or cohenites@gmail.com
Areas you can volunteer for:
Hospitality and Registration (Indoors, near the booze and food, at the center of everything)
Security (keeping an eye on those of us too inebriated to sleep and making sure no-one ransacks the room between 3-7am)
The Picnic (working with Tori to organize food/activities for the friday afternoon picnic party - outdoors!)
Tour Leaders (You don’t need to be local - Ideally, I want to pair one Edmontonian and one international guest for each tour)
Decorations and Backstage (helping set up each night’s theme and running errands for the evening’s performers)
No lengthy Email needed, just write expressing interest.
Thanks! - Kim

Kim,
Is it possible to buy only tickets to the concert event at the winspear? Or do you need to register for the entire event?

For the people who have registered from outside of Edmonton, what’s the sense of accommodations? It would be great if we could stay close together. I’ve been sending emails to some of you to ask about plans, but if anyone wants to weigh in with an opinion or advice, please log into the Accommodation string.
