I am beyond excited! I am hoping to attend the ABC, but they are coming to MN, too!

Sorry to miss the convention. But I'm planning to see them locally here at Zellerbach. Yay!

I bet you could if you really tried.


Flights & Hotel for around that date is coming in at about £750 ($1000) for 4 nights (arriving Friday leaving Tuesday). Also, I'm certain that weekend is when my older sister is returning from New Zealand to visit, and we have a family visit. Finally, I'm booked up to go away for a long weekend the next weekend, to Nottingham. It's terrible timing!

If I can swing it though I will try!

Paying for parking doesn't stress me out too much.

I have a dislike for public transport options from the airport.

And since I'll be using frequent flier miles to get there, using points to get the car, and possibly using points for a hotel as well, it really isn't a big deal to me.

Perhaps I'll change my mind. Or perhaps y'all will be begging to get in my car and I will remind you of this thread and make you buy me chocolate before I'll give you a ride.

Don takes the "L" all the time in Chicago. It picks up by the bus/train station and airports and there's a line near the venue. As long as no one is traveling alone (safety first!), it seems to be pretty convenient. Of course, I will not turn down a ride if offered (have some chocolate...have another piece).

Isn't O' Hare airport one of the country's largest?
Then why do they have such a craptacular website?

All that and a commemorative T-shirt.

Meridith, it's time to unleash your vision so that we may all get our shirts made.

OR the polish sausage on the deep dish pizza!
