Oooh, CJ, I *do* like the idea of little ID thingies with people's handles AND their real names on them! I always forget who *I* am supposed to be at these things, never mind everyone else.

I second that. I think the tags are a great idea. Assuming everyone else approves, is someone going to be printing these up for everyone, or is it a do it yourself thing? I'm up for whatever.

i figured everyone would just edit the doc and print it out themselves
for those without color printers, i'll make a B+W version
for those without Photoshop, i'll make a JPEG version

How about PNG format? I opened CoffeeJedi's file in Macromedia Fireworks, and saved it back as png format.

Clayfoot, I had no idea that the Blue Line is running only every half hour out of O'Hare. I really really doubt that that's the case. Hmm, I am gonna take a look at the transit website. It's more like every 20 minutes in my experience ...

Just whipped up mine, and it looks good. Thanks, Coffeejedi!

Hey guys, if'n y don't mind, I'm going to take that PSD and improve it a little - lighter background for printing in B/W, blank spots for those without photoshop, etc.

Meanwhile, Rufo, I'll be arriving with you, my intention is to get a locker at Union if I need to, drop off anything I don't want to carry with me, and pick it back up when I take the train back (or if I get a ride back) to the hotel. I don't intend to stop at the hotel, likely, until the end of the night. I've already paid fro the room, so they shouldn't yank it.

Clayfoot:

See, that's where the trip planner can be sorta stupid. The Chicago bus will slow you down. Take the Blue Line all the way in to Clark and Lake, and then walk up to the surface, to La Salle, and take the bus north.

I might be wrong, but I think there's even a stop right in front of the restaurant. You're gonna look for the 156 bus, which goes both directions, so be sure to catch the one goin' over the Chicago River.

ETA: Generally, I think you'll be OK, perhaps a little late for Fogo (checking in at the hotel first, I mean), but you can always call and let us know where you are, too! We will save a seat for you - I am sure we will be there a little while, as there is much meat to consume.

For people wanting to go to the Museum of Science and Industry on SATURDAY, here is my proposal:

Meet on the steps near the main entrance between 10:30 and 11:00 AM.
Admission will be $9 for General, and then the Game On exhibit is $5 additional. We can buy tickets for that exhibit as we pay our general admission, natch.

Sound good? Excellent. The museum does open at 9:30 AM, but! For those of us who have attended Too Much Light the night before, we'll need a bit more time to rouse ourselves and make it out into the world.

Too Much Light, for a FRIDAY night, needs to be a 10:20 PM arrival time. We'll likely be standing outside, in line. It's possible the line will be let partially indoors, in which case we could be on the stairs, or up on the landing on the second floor. If you do not get there by that time, you may not receive a token. If you do not receive a token, you can't get in.

Please don't be late. I'd hate to leave anyone out in the wilderness of Chicago because of a few minutes of time. No, we CANNOT grab tokens for our friends. No, we CANNOT reserve tickets ahead of time.

That's just the nature of the beast.
