Chicago is hellishly cold in the winter.

NEVER COME HERE IN THE WINTER.

It is!! I've been there once in the winter and I think I almost got frost bite. It's soo cold!!!

Well I don't know about everyone else but I'd rather stay away from cold, when I go on vacation this summer we'll be making a stop-off in chicago so I could check out hotels then and my mum is more than happy to help and said she'd rent out the function room and at some hotels they do discounts on people staying at the hotel that are attending the event.
SGA a UK event will probably be organized but Drew is perfectly correct, one at a time, this is gonna be tough as it is but trying to do two at once is just plain stupidity.
tibb I love your new tags and the Whitewolf one is now my fave (of course).
August 27 is in the summer, I checked with my mum and both Uk and USA are at the end of summer break then and other countries too.
Balto_tracer has given me a brilliant idea about what we should be doing whilst at the event, Drew we could use your knowlegde on this one, how about a tour or side-trip to some sort of theme-park/museum, mainly as just talking for ages will get old fast, tables will be put aside for anyone that wants to draw whilst we're there (at the main event) but two days would give plenty of time for people to make to at least one of the two days.

Sorry about the long post guys.

Now once you get into tours we're talking more money muesums in Chicago aren't cheap and nor our the tours, a bus tour is iffy its just more liablity to worry about. Now if you stay in one place and organize activities. Psh heck I'd screen the Balto 4 Trailer for you guys if you got a like projector or something.

That's a much better idea, OK, ignore the whole tours/museums thing and we'll stick with it all at the hotel. Drew if you could do that it'd be awesome and if we could get a TV/projector screen people could show their fan-vids too.

I am quite capable of that stuff, I'm good with computers and all that. Me and Lakos 'team up represent the crew if Cat and GK can't make it.

That would be soo cool Drew!! Great thinking!

Geesh, I'm never going on vacation again. Anyway, I'm positive that the palmer house hotel is the one me and my family stayed at. the lobby looks the same.

I think 2007 or 2008 would be better. I should have my drivers lisence in the middle of summer 2007, but that doesn't matter if we have to bring a parent.

Tibb_wolf. I like the Balto, Aleu, Kodi, White wolf, and Jenna name tags. This is just a suggestion, but what if you choose one for the guys and another one for the girls?

DrewTheWolf: If everyone inder 18 has to have a parent with them, the parent could rent the car and we could have some one who is 18 reserve the hotel. Or we could see if someones parent wants to. Your also right about tours and meuseums not being cheep. It actually might be better if we did just stay in one spot. I don't know anyone with a projector, sorry.

Oy, sorry i'm so far behind on this.

Renting a car is by no means cheap.

Hmmmm true. Well, the other options would be a taxi or bus right?

But they'd still cost money. Let's face it; the only free way to get there is to drive.

Kari: Well to drive you need to buy fuel so it's actually not free, unfortunately there's nothing that comes free.

Silent wolf: My mum said she would happily reserve the hotel function room and most hotels do discounts for people attending any event held in thier function rooms. Taxi's or coaches would be a better idea but I'm not all to sure just how we'd manage to do that. Taxi's from airports would'nt be too hard but other than that I don't know.
I like the idea of one desing for boys and another for girls and another one for parents maybe?

Drew: I really like the idea of showing fan-vids there and the Balto 4 teaser trailer sounds really cool.

Sounds like a good idea to me tibb.
