Don't we have people in St Louis?
Anne is the only one.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I would love to go to a F2F in Chicago, it's just that, aesthetically, I like the idea of it always being in a new place. Still, never having been to one (and being a wet-behind-the-ears buffista n00b myself) I'm not sure how much say I get. Today I heard someone waxing poetical about KC so now I'm leaning that way. But if it Chicago wins I am definitely coming.

My only suggestion would be to make sure it's someplace easy to get to by plane ... or, possibly, train, if the current flight delays continue. Frequent flights can mean prices coming down as the date gets near.

You can't get much more accessible by plane than Chicago. And St. Louis and Kansas City don't give up much ground to it in the way of railroad access - all three are major hubs.

quick question Chicagoistas -- when traveling on business in chicago, it is worth it to rent a car, or should i plan to taxi/public transport. I will be going to 2-3 places a day, mostly within the city
nothing to do with F2F, potential business trip

I wouldn't unless you're staying out by the airport.

Parking downtown is not something I ever want to do, so unless you have to go out to the suburbs a lot, renting a car probably isn't necessary.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Wholeheartedly second this.
