oh...WOW

I was planning on going...but it ComicCon is that weekend...I am so not going , I have to go to this ComicCon, I've already made committments and stuff (KOL-related).

A date change...please?

It seems that I never make an ARGFest

[QBKooky]

I'll be hanging out in the grand country of Ireland those days. Oh well.... I never get to go to these fun-fun events (*shares ms_gwyn's sadness*)

Have loads of fun though! Take pictures and VIDEO so we can attend vicariously through you! (that was one of the best bits of ARGfest NYC for me )

Provided I have the available funding at that time frame, I'm down for the 21st-23rd

[thunderclap8]

I'm in! Woo!

[VMVash]

Hmm I might be there for 21-22, but there are too manythings that can change from now and then for me to tell.

Krystyn, is the wiki still active? Can the organizers start putting together a list of who's going to be there? There's a slight chance I might be in Chicago right around then, I won't have time for any activities if so but I'd like to know who's going to be there.

Krystyn, if I am there, cold beverages on me at the Chicago drinking establishment of your choice, even if it's Midway.

I plan on making it up to this one (which'll make it my first one). Woo!

[krystyn]

Axys, I am a million times more excited about you coming to ARGfest than I am about your current avatar!

joebrent, indeed! The wiki is sleepy and slothful, but we can certainly start sprucing it up. Actually, it's open for *any* contributors, so people can make pages and lists and things to their hearts' content.

We'll get a list of attendees going, yep.

[rose]

List of attendees , which is empty, so start filing it in.

Suggestion:

Someone buy argfest.com. That way we can use it yearly with subdomains, like 2005.argfest.com, 2006.argfest.com, etc.

Have people started looking at airfares/hotels? Yes, it's 5½ months away, but those of us w/families and/or on a tight budget (like myself) probably want to get it squared away now, the prices are only going to go up (and, in fact, the price of one hotel I was looking at went up a few $ in the middle of my search :/ )

This may be a discussion for the wiki, but do any of you Chicagoans know anything about the Club Quarters, Wacker? Great location and price, from the looks of it.

While not a Chicagoan myself, I stayed at this Holiday Inn in December:
http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hd/chicc?irs=y

It was clean and well-located. Rates for late July seem to be in the $160 range, which isn't bad for downtown.

Dunno if I'll be there myself yet, as I'm organizing with a few other people. But its an option.

That Wacker one looks pretty nice, but the site mentions that it is members only. Or do you know a way around that?



As for airfare, I'm waiting for Southwest to start taking reservations that far out before I decide.

I'm a fan of Homewood Suites -- great location right downtown, in/out parking privileges, and very nice little suites. Also, the Amazing Hilton Mattresses.

I know we stayed in a room with a king-size bed (and pull-out couch) for a little over $100 a night last month. However, their summer rates look a bit pricier. Those are the normal rates, though. If you can do better through a discount site, I highly recommend the place.
