Sarah,
Allow me to introduce myself especially to you. I am the Chairman of
Costume-Con 28, which will be in Milwaukee in 2010. I am also affiliated with
the ICG Guild in Chicago.
If you are not aware of it, there is a growing general event in
northern Chicago in early February called Reenactor Fest.

I will be there for the weekend and, if you want to use my room for a bivouac
for a day, if you come, that would be OK by me! Just don't mind my other
friends who might be doing that, too.
Contact me out of group if you are. Or if I can be of any other help!
