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.

Yes, Halstead and Harrison is definitely walking distance from Union Station: walking directions are here. We'll probably be at the southwest corner of the intersection.

You probably don't want a Metra weekend pass unless you're planning on traveling out into the suburbs. If you're just planning on moving around the city for the jam, what you want is a CTA pass (Metra services suburbs, CTA services downtown). You can get a CTA one-day pass for $5.75, or a three-day pass for $14. Information about them is here.

How many people: Ok, Five of us our coming for sure, and were driving ourselves.

Time your arriving: Thursday 16th with the rest of the Michigan crew.
Time your leaving: Sunday Night, or Monday morning.

We will definitely need housing, and directions once we meet up on Friday as we are not familiar with Chicago.

I live out in the suburbs so that's what I'm gonna have to get. Thanks for that map, though. I'll print it out later so I don't get lost.

Travis, are you & Joey driving down together from Waukesha? Also is Zack coming along? I am sending an email about housing, I can include you guys in the head-count for that if you like.

Speaking of, here is my information:

How many people: 3-5

I have an email out to the address given re: housing.

Let me know if you need any more information or have questions on anything! I can't wait!

From Appleton WI Alone ATM but looking for people who need a ride.
Friday Sometime...Tentative with the MadPK and PK Squirrel crews.
Sunday after the "additional jammij"

Ford Explorer with room for 5+ gear...also serves as a nice room for two if need be with the inflatable twin size snug in back. I can crash there if I have a place to park at least.

Muse, if it ends up being Travis, Joey, Zack, myself and you we could all just plan on the explorer and arrange lodgings accordingly.

Alright so this is a week away here and I still haven't gotten any information on what the options are for places to stay.  I've e-mailed the guy we were supposed to talk to and got no real answer back.  If I'm going to be planning a whole weekend trip here and asking off for work for it I really need to know what's going on.  Are people offering houses for us to crash at?  Do we have to find hotels?  Any info would be awesome, thanks.

^^Agreed. :) Also, I know what a big deal planning a jam is; if there's anything we can do to help out with the planning or make things easier on you guys, let us know!

Dun worry you will all have places to stay!  We are just gathering all the names and then gonna divide them out to people who can house in a few days.  So we are just waiting until most people have rsvp'ed. 

Get with the flow...

How many people: 6 (may vary)
Time your arriving: around 6 on Friday the 17th
Time your leaving: Sunday afternoon

It would be great to have some space reserved for us. It's a big group and I don't think we'll all fit at Aladdin's. This is just a precaution.

Ok, so our plans are concrete now. We will have five people with us, and we will need housing. Were driving ourselves but are going to meet up with the rest of the Michigan crew on Thursday night.
