billroper and daisy_knotwise, catalana, lukeski and dement1a, ericcoleman, min0taur and Sally and harperjen and tollers, singlemaltsilk and janmagic and jrittenhouse and shsilver and mstrhypno barbarakitten_t and tcgtrf and everybody. I have a set tonight at 8:00 p.m. in Ravinia A (after which is the Open Filk in the same room), and one in Botanic Garden A (the CapriCon Cafe) Saturday at 4:45 p.m. Ideally, I shall avoid the snow for travel's sake; if not, well, Super 8 is comfy and cheap.
What are your plans for the weekend?

Date: 2009-02-20 02:31 pm (UTC)I thought about going to this con, but I try to restrict myself to 2 cons a year. I also have to do some self examination sometime and decide how I'm going to spend my time (what I should be doing vs what I am doing).

Date: 2009-02-20 03:51 pm (UTC)I checked on google maps where it was. It's near my friend's house in Palatine. I'm not sure if I'd call it "near the lake", but that's irrelevant since I haven't lived near the lack since moving to Chi-town and I have little credibility to say what's near and what isn't.
Drive safely and I hope you have a good time.

Date: 2009-02-20 11:01 pm (UTC)I've had very good luck lately with Super 8. Their internet always works, they've been renovating and usually have new beds, and the rooms often have a microwave and a mini-fridge.
