The Congress Plaza Hotel was a good deal, last time I looked.
(Formerly the Pick Congress) It's on MIchigan and Congress at the
south end of the Loop and just a short walk from the Art Institute.

Christine,
1) Who's coming?
Lynn and I will be there. I'll drive the van so I can do some
shlepping of folks.
Lynn probably won't photo walk, but definitely see the opening.
2) Do you want to do a group photo-walk on Sat or Sun or neither?
Either day is fine, perhaps one day for the full group and the other
for smaller groups.
If the weather is good, there is nothing more glorious than a tour
on an old red
London double-decker bus.
3) Do you want to do a group dinner Sat night at some place cheap and
cheerful?
Yes, you pick the place or make some suggestions. Do we have 5 or
25 folks?
As to hotels, Lynn and I will do some looking. Anywhere west of
Michigan Ave
will be a bit cheaper. And north of the river and south of Chicago
Ave. is good.
I might try Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites, Comfort Inn, or Hilton
Garden Inn.
These are all along Ohio Street, west of Navy Pier and South of the
galleries you
talked about. See what kind of deals you can get. Everybody at 1 or
2 places would
make transit a bit easier. This whole area is relatively safe and
secure.
Regards, Bob S.
Friday, May 7th will be the opening reception from 6-9 pm. The
gallery is
on the 4th floor of Dank Haus. On the 6th floor there is a bar
called the
Skyline Lounge, which has an excellent terrace offering a nice roof
top view
of the city. Sue said the bar might have free jazz that night. So
that
could be fun, but if we don't want to stay there, there are lots of
nice
bars within a short walking distance from Dank Haus.
What do you'all think? Let's get the chatter going on this.
Cheers, Christine
