Sounds good. I hope to come. Perhaps the Detroit contingent can car
pool in to Chicago
Camping in your parents backyard might be more fun if you didn't tell
them ahead of time:-)
Seriously, I'll probably stay in a hotel if I come. Is the gallery
downtown or near north? The old Pick Congress (now the Congress I
believe) was a good deal a few years ago. About 125 I think. That's
where my car was stolen from the valet line, which made it less of a
good deal I guess. But the chances of that happening again are
probably only about 50/50 :-).

Hi Everyone:
Work has me so busy I haven't been able to keep up with PDML, but
I've got a bit of a free window here to pose some possibilities, so
here goes:
1) I know it might be too early for a solid commit, but is it
possible for folks to respond to the list stating they are
"seriously considering coming." If I could get some idea of who
*might* be coming, I might be able to help with places to stay. For
example, my parents have a back yard, so if some folks were on a
budget, maybe they'd be willing bring a tent and billet in my
parents' backyard--though I do have to ask my parents about
this :-), but I don't think it will be that much of a problem--I
hope. Also, if I can get my living room cleared of book piles, I
could purchase another large air mattresses (Darrel & I slept on
one at GFM, and they are really comfortable.) We have 1, which
could be put to use, and I'd be willing to get another one. Anyway,
if you post back, I'll start a list of those folks "seriously
considering coming," and I'll try to help out.
2) In a week or so, I'll post a list of hotels/motels folks might
consider staying at. I promise to be budget-aware when compiling
the list.
3) Awhile back I suggested the following: Folks fly in Thurs or
Friday; attend exhibit opening reception Fri night; Photowalk all
day Sat with pizza party/dinner Sat night; How does this sound to
folks? The bigger problem will be choosing a photowalk spot or
(spots) lol--so many possibilities. If you want to offer
suggestions please do. I'm going to do some serious thinking on
this and post some possibilities soon.
Anyway that's a start. I hope it helps.
Cheers, Christine
