Hi Christine
Karin and I are seriously thinking about coming. Our first time to the
USA!
We'll stay in a hotel and we'd be glad of any info you're able to give us.
The evolving plan is that we'll stay in Chicago for the exhibition and
photo
walk and perhaps stay for another week for scenery / walking. Any
recommendations as to where to go and a nice place to stay for scenery /
walking in the Chicago / lakes area? Also, what's the weather like at that
time of year?
Cheers, Chris

Subject: Coming to Chicago for PDML Exhibit
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
