I am an idiot, but I know this so I double checked my flight information. in my jumping around I accidentally booked my return flight on Saturday, May 26th, not April 28th. I found the same flight home for the same price on the correct day and was able to change it.
Southwest Airlines you do in fact rock.
I have also decided to get a hotel room for Thursday night, buses stop operating at midnight and I really did not want to cut trying to get to my friend's house so close. I had enough Hilton rewards points to get a free room a few blocks from the concert site. 
Russian Tea... looks fancy. Dragon Well Special Grade Tea, I guess that is what we will be drinking 
Will be arriving Midway at 10:30 on April 26th
I will be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago North Loop.
http://hiltongardeninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/illinois/hilton-garden-inn-chicago-north-loop-CHINLGI/index.html I had enough Hilton honors points for a free room.
Friday - free day. Field Museum? Osaka garden? China Town, Shedd Aquarium is awesome, Sky deck on Sears Tower, I can't call it the Willis Tower, can't do it.
Bonus side trip, river walk and flip off the Trump Tower
I will have most of Saturday to hang out as well.
I leave Midway at 8:00 PM Saturday.

For those interested, you may want to purchase a City Pass, as it includes VIP admission to both The Shedd and the Adler Planetarium, as well as a few other attractions.
You can check out more details at https://www.citypass.com/chicago

Hey everyone!
Here we are, one month away from the Chicago meetup. Just wanted to let everyone know I created a mailing list to make it easier to communicate with each other until we actually all meet up. Please email sst-midwesst-meetup@lists.sonic.net to post to this list. If you already have a purchased ticket for the concert, you have already been added to this list.
I had a few questions I would like to ask the group first:
1. What day/time is everyone arriving to Chicago?
2. I know there are some of us staying at the Chicago Lake Shore Hotel, while others will be staying with friends. I would like to be able to give everyone their gift bags (yes, there are gift bags!), preferably before the concert on April 26, so maybe we can all meet for breakfast at the hotel restaurant that morning. Does that work for folks?
Now, I know some of you have been receiving emails from this address in your spam folder, so I will be posting this information in the forum as well just to make sure. I would appreciate it if everyone would let me know if they received this information.
My contact information, if you do not already have it is:
Mobile: +1 (510) 854-6265 (Google Voice)
Skype: jamesjennison@hotmail.com
Email: webmaster@scorereviews.net
Feel free to contact me with any questions!
See you in Chicago!!!!!
-Morg

Hey everyone.
I would like to add to the gift basket. Many of you know that I am a photographer. If you would like to pick an image that I have posted that you enjoy Please let me know and I will bring an 8x10 or larger print with me for you to the meetup.
any single nonpanoramic image is up for grabs, even dancers.
You can find a sampling of my work here

Please let me know by Monday.
Thanks.

I won't be attending the JW concert, but I'm hoping to be able to get downtown for a meetup with you guys before you leave. Please keep me posted on the group's plans for Friday and/or Saturday. |

The prints I have ordered for the SST meetup have still not arrived. This has me very concerned and very annoyed. I should not have used a new supplier but I decided to give them a shot.
I have used them for canvas prints before and they were awesome. Their paper prints so far have been a pure bust.
If they arrive today or tomorrow I will have them.
