Don't worry, it's not fighting season yet! ....plus I respect the fact that I'm in your territory....unlike Cubs fans at Miller Park

No worries lol!....are you sure you don't want to convert to the more classy blue team north of you? We have much better Bratwurst here you know, and our hotdogs don't come with the kitchen sink on them...

hahaha, no ty! i like my pizza and my champs.

I think Dracos and I are going on Sunday. I’ve got a leachie gecko to pick up. (Happy dance happy dance happy dance). Plus I need to hit the Pangea booth for food and cork bark for the little guy (did I mention happy dance?).

I spent yesterday and today at the convention center for our annual state floodplain manager’s conference. In past years I’ve gotten a hotel room (hour-plus drive from home before the 355 S extension opened), but this year I had to commute since husband and son are on the road, so I had to take care of the dog-boys. If it wasn’t for the dogs, I’d have stayed tonight and gone to the Friday night preview. The conference I was at wasn’t bad, but a 500 floodplain managers just aren’t as much fun as NARBC. Lot less crowded, though. . When I left at 3 today one of the electricians was putting in one of the big power feeds to the south end of the vendor hall.

I'm REALLY considering going at this point,the only rooms left are like $135 a night though (and I'm already a rewards member lol)

We will see, it's going to be painful knowing that I can't pick anything up when I'm there but if AP has 6 or 8ft cages ready to go I think I'm going to head down....I would be there Saturday for sure. Chicago traffic though.....

There’s several motels on the other side of . . . Harlem, I think it is - the north-south road the convention center faces (brain is all squishy from “my” conference). I stayed at one two years ago for FP manager’s conference when the convention center hotel was sold out. If you don’t mind crossing umpty lanes of traffic you can easily walk to the convention center.

I don’t think AP is going to be there, I just double-checked and they’re not on the vendor list. When I asked a couple-three years ago they weren’t doing the spring show, as they needed to be home building enclosures.

AAARGH!!! It was SOOOO crowded! Probably not worse than usual, but aaargh! Parking was crazy, wonder how many people get/got ticketed/towed from the health club. And then there was this person




Actually, that was a pretty good spot, reasonably close to the doors. And by the time we left, a couple people were lined up behind my truck.

We saw some stuff, missed more that I wanted to find, but it was too crowdede, got my gecko and and accessories and left.

the atm in the convention center is down so if you need an atm you gotta go to the hotel.
