Wasn't planning on going, so I never read any of the threads about the Chicago banquet.
Just decided to go (need to leave in like 2 hours).
If anyones has the time to answer some questions, would be mucho appreciated.
1) is it too late to go to the Saturday banquet? w/out reservation? Can I pay when I get there? How much?
2)the only thing I know is the banquet is in Chicago. Where exactly (directions from StL?)?
Where is everyone staying? Info? too late for a room?
Time? PLace?
Is everyone meeting up Friday night or Saturday morning?
heard there is a bike show?
Any info appreciated!!!!!!
The motorcycle show is at the Rosemont Convention Center all weekend (www.motorcycleshows.com). Rosemont is right by O'Hare Airport (junction of I-294 and I-90).
You can pay at the door for the banquet... $25 per person. The banquet is being held at a bar called Kendall's (2263 N. Lincoln Avenue) in the Lincoln Park neighborhood... near the lakefront on the city's Near North side. There are a couple of other threads on here with details on the hotel and etc.
Assuming you're coming from the STL area, take I-55 north, all the way into town... exit Lake Shore Drive northbound and take that to Fullerton Ave. Go west to Lincoln Ave. and turn left. Kendalls will be a couple blocks south of Fullerton.
The hotel is Hotel 71... call (312) 475-0777 and ask for Jan to book a room. I think the cost was $89 per night.
ThanX Kim! :)
