Hey all - I'm headed out to do house related stuff for a while but I'll be downtown and free around noon. Call me (#in profile) if you want to make plans.
Hands! Hands in new places!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I have successfully retrieved my very tired, very relaxed and very much happy wife from the train station.
I just want to say thank you to all the Buffistas at or who aided my wife in attending this mini-F2F. It's nice to see her smile easily again.
She had a fantastic time and that means a lot to me. So...thanks.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Did you guys end up at Brasserie Jo after all?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So.
There were a couple of discussions whilst in Chicago and talk of the next F2F came up and possible locations for it.
I, personally, am in favor of having it Chicago again.
My reasoning is thus:
* Very centralized and easy to get to. Two airports, the Megabus, Amtrak, and within driving distance of several people.
* Excellent public transportation.
* Even though it's been there before, we have had quite the influx of new people and the smaller and sadder outflux of others that might not make it to this one. It would be like a whole new crowd!
* Lots of stuff to do! Museums, river tours, city tours, porn shops, plays, musicals, baseball (2 teams!).
* Pretty inexpensive. I mean, if we can get a good hotel room in SF for $99/night, we can probably find somehing equatable for Chicago.
* Not as much worry about graduation ceremonies eating up all of the hotel space. DePaul's graduation is June 15, 2008 and Northwestern's has been historically around the same time. Plus, it's out in Evanston, so if we stay closer to the Loop or in the Gold Coast, we'd be far enough away, I think, to not have that particular worry.
So anyway - those are my thoughts. Please to be chiming in?
