Chicago or Milwaukee are reasonable flight destinations. [ETA: Milwaukee about 65 miles, Chicago about twice that.] For people renting cars, I've gotten crazy deals from [link] - like a priceline for car rentals instead of airlines. I'm guessing that if people post their reservations as they make them, there will be carpooling opportunities abounding. If no one is arriving around you, Badger Bus [link] is also a good option.
From what's been posted here, it sounds like most of the Chicagoans will be heading out from Chicago on Thursday, but that could change as we get closer. I expect to be driving from Milwaukee on Thurs myself.
I plan to drive up Friday morning.

I'm the oddball who's driving to Michigan that weekend.
what time are we meeting on Wednesday and where?
Cindy, you could take the commuter rail to North Station and the orange line to Chinatown or Downtown Crossing. I'll ride back with you if you like so neither of us are alone for the later ride to NS.

I would like to know this too! I will be free after 5.
Me too! I can meet you in the lobby of your hotel if you like and we can make our way over together. I'll be leaving work (literally right across the river) at 5pm, should be there by 5:30 at the latest.
Just wanted to let folks know, I now have a Premier account with PayPal, so I can accept all forms of payment for donations to the F2F fund.

I'm out of work at four, or close to it, and I'm literally a walk up a hill and a couple blocks from the Omni Parkerhouse. Ordinarily, I'd say I'd meet P-C at a nearby bar, but, if I'm remembering correctly, you don't drink. Otherwise, I'd say let's all meet at Silvertone's, which is right around the corner from P-C's hotel.
Is there anyone who's going to be driving from Chicago on Friday? I'm still trying to work out plane tickets.
Sail, you may want to post in Press with our estimated total costs, the total you've collected so far, and your PayPal for future donations. We're running really short on time, and I don't want you getting stuck having to pony up a credit card to cover things in the interim.
