Re: MW/GP/GL Banquet Host Hotel

[RC51Racer]

Howdy y'all!  Great news!  I have set up a gorgeous hotel for your enjoyment for the night of February 8th in Chicago after the awards banquet.

It is:
AmeriSuites Itasca
1150 Arlington Heights Rd
Itasca, IL  60143
630-875-1400

The rate is $79 per night, including a FREE shuttle to and from Kendall's AND breakfast the next morning!

Here's my one request:  Could y'all who are planning to go give me an idea of how many rooms we'll be needing?  I booked a block of 30, but I have to make sure I can fill those.  Please respond!

Tiff,

I'll most likely need two, may be three. I can let you know for sure in a couple of days.

I'll take a half of a room. You know what a cheapskate I am. ;D Anyone want to split one?

Sure - Paul and I will take the bed, you can have the balcony.

If it's free, I'll take it!!  ;D

[OmniGLH]

I think my group will probably just brave the drive home...

If we're too "gone" maybe we'll just snag a room on our own...

I noticed on the RRW site a press release from CCS talking about the banquets. For the Midwest one thit said the hotel is only one mile from the Banquet hall, it should be 25 miles!

[KBOlsen]

That's true... Itasca is in the western suburbs, while the party is on the lakefront.  But if the hotel is offering a shuttle... it shouldn't be too big a deal.

[TiffineyIngram]

Yeah, for some reason it's in "Itasca", but it's really in downtown (from what the rep told me).  I did a mapquest and it said it was less than a mile...but I'll check again.

Hey Tiffiney,

Are we clear to book these now???  Also, what's up with the event tickets? Purchase where/when/etc Kids rate???

Thanks!

Hey Tiff.  I'll take a room.  When do we book?
