Subject: Re: Coming to Chicago for PDML Exhibit
I have two things in mind for May 7th 2010:
a - retire, and
b - go to Chicago.
Neither is an absolute certainty, but both are very strong likelihoods.
I won't be able to go the GFM, will be doing another Costa Rica trip for
one or two weeks end-of-May and/or early June. So the Chicago gathering
will be my best chance for a PDML gathering.
I expect Meg will join me for the weekend in Chicago as well.
She has a college roommate who lives in the greater Chicago area, we
could stay with them, but I suspect it would simplify our logistics if we
get a place to stay near you and/or near the gallery - I'll defer to your
local knowledge as to best neighborhood for the purpose.
Thanks again for taking on this project!!!
Stan

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
