^ i tried setting up a dyno last year but all the places around the area weren't open on the weekends.

plus, if this goes anyhting like last year, most out of state peeps won't get in till 3-6pm on friday, we'll be spending all day saturday at CED (w/ cruise) and then most of us have to be out by 10-11am on sunday... no really good time frame to dyno unless you're local.

ATTENTION TOM!!!

i have hotel information in the works. i'll be getting stuff set up @ the holiday inn express in libertyville, IL (77 west buckly road). i was told by the front desk that rates per room will be 89 - 109 per night (rooms will have accomadations for 3 people) and i'll be setting aside 10 rooms (it's about as much as we had last year). i won't have this set in stone until tomorrow when the manager calls me (she wasn't in when i called). so, updates tomorrow!

Ah, bummer. Ah well, I might just take that Saturday off and head up there then... sounds like it would be more fun than being there on friday.

You didn't like the Holiday Inn in Waukegan/Gurnee? This one will be better for hanging outside on the parking lot. Plus bunch of stuff

Thoughts?
