I don't know if I can make this one... Taking two weekends off from work may not be that great, but I will see when the time comes.  Maybe because it will be early enough in the summer it will work out fine.  I'll let you know later.  If I do come, I should have a place to stay too.

It's a little too early to tell if I'll be able make this one, but I'll tell the other Louisville Parkour guys/girls about it and see what they think about making the trip up.

Phone and email:  815-260-0611, brian.t.wise@gmail.com
Number of people:  2
Arrival time: ~3-ish pm Friday
Departure time: ~3-ish pm Sunday

No housing necessary; we have our own accomodations available.  Also, this is tentative based on my ability to not be the recall guy that weekend.  Shouldn't be a problem, though.

Cool!  My first nat'l jam, so be gentle!

How many people:As of now, the plan is myself and 1 other taking Megabus. The arrival's at union station. I'm not sure how close or far that is from the housing location?

Time your arriving: 17th/ 12:40pm, 8:40pm. One of those two. Will get back to you guys on this.
Time your leaving:
This depends. If you guys wouldn't mind have us stay and jam until monday, then we'll pick a time that works well on Monday. Otherwise, we'd probably leave at the 1:30 departure on Sunday.

It'd be real appreciated if we could have some housing for the weekend. No need for a bed, just some floor space and we'll be perfectly fine. :]
Thanks guys.

Haha I never realized there was a thread for this. I spent a good amount of time looking for more info for this on the site but couldn't find anything and was just about to make a thread asking for more info.

I might have a friend coming with me but that's tentative. Here's my info for now:

Name: Andrew Wang
Phone/email: 847-845-5059/wang79(at)gmail(dot)com
How many people: 1, maybe 2.
Time you're arriving: 10AM Saturday if I don't get lost.
Time you're leaving: When we're done Saturday.

I'm not 100% familiar with Chicago despite living reasonably close. How would I get to the meeting place (Halsted and Harrison) from Union Station? Is it within walking distance? Not that I'd take a taxi either way; I'd just like to know how far I'm running so I know which train to take.

:EDIT: Metra has $5 weekend passes all the time, right? Or is that just right now since it's Taste week(s)? Because if they do I'd be up for jamming on Sunday, too. I just have to get back by 5PM.

Im also, gonna be arriving at the Union Station, and from what Fresh Face told me, it's pretty far from the Jam spot. So iunno.

I just checked the map on the OP; it's a ten block run if you take the sidewalks. You can cut that down if you run diagonally but that'll most likely involve some parkouring ;]

Getting to Union Station from the second location will be a pain, though.

Oh that's not too bad, at least we got some sites to look at while we're book'in it there. xD. But hmm, I'm arriving on Friday, so I wonder will it be the same spot I will be going to?
