We should try to coordinate a drive-from-Chicago-caravan.
It's easy to get from O'Hare to Madison. It's been yonks, but there used to be a Union 76 rest stop in the Elgin area (say, half an hour past O'Hare on I-90) that included a great diner.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What exactly is bandom? I hear the term, but I don't know what it is.
Bandom is the intense fangirling and sometimes ficcing of any combination of the following bands and their members: My Chemical Romance, Cobra Starship, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, Gym Class Heroes, The Academy Is..., Empires, etc.
see also: my lj for the last several months and hundreds of posts in the music thread recently.

Can I book a hotel room online as part of the Buffistas group, or do I have to talk to a human being for that?

Gotta talk to a real hooman bean, Tom. The phone number is on the F2F webpage. It's local, if you want the toll-free it's 1-877-424-6423.

I just made a reservation this afternoon, no problem. Although, when I called the 877 number, they told me that there were only suites available, but I had to call directly to get the group rate. When I called directly, I had no problem.
On another note, I would like to do some beer touring. I really want to go to the New Glarus Brewery, but there are several more we can go to as well. Can I get a show of posts for those interested in going on a beer tour on Saturday? I would think that we would do three breweries.

OK, I had to tell the human I was part of the group BEFORE I tried to make the reservation, and I got a room. She said that there was only one more room in the block after mine, though.

I may have just booked that room.
However, my human said nothing about lastroomness.
BEER!
