I will be there, looking forward to it, made my plane reservations this morning! Arriving Wednesday the 20th leaving Monday the 25th! You will find me "hard at work" in the Treefrog Room. I have found that by working the show, it seriously curtailed my spending. The only problem is what I buy before and after..................................if I could only cure that habit.......................

The force feeding begins already?!?!?! Tom you will beat me there -- I think I will safely stick myself between you and Zach and go wherever the 3 of us are invited

 

[zblang]

Oh trust me, I will not be offering you food! Haha

 

[gk5717]

Portillos, I think that is the only reason I still go to OTSN. There chocolate-cake shake is the best. Tried making their hot dogs and italian beef at home, no way.

After missing the 2015 show (attending funeral) and the 2016 show (poor house) I am planning on attending the show this year . . . . Looking forward to it . . . .

Gents,

Looking to come to Chicago this year with the Wife. We will probably stay for 3-5 days in the centre of Chicago as she very much wants to look at the art shops and some of the museums. Given that I will probably have two full days at the show when are the best days to turn up to.

Camera is already quaking with excitement.

Andy,

The room trading gets into full swing on Thursday and the actual show is Sunday so it depends on what you want to do. Also, the show takes place in Schaumberg at the Hyatt Regency which is outside of Chicago.

Anyway, great that you can make it.

Brad

 

[UK_BOD]

Thank you Brad.

How far is the show from the centre of Chicago and any idea on how much that would be in a taxi.

My thinking here is that Tracy (Wife) will want to stay in the centre of the city going to various Malls whilst I can travel to the show (and partake in some ales) on a couple of days. Probably the Thursday and Sunday

Brad, the first one is on me. It will be good to meet you in the flesh if your coming. After 12 years on this forum it will be good to put faces to names.

I'll see if I can drag some other members of the empire to come.

Andy
