It is very early, so it's very hard to commit to right now, but please add your name here if you are more than "just interested" in the Chicago TVCH get together. We'd like to get a REALISTIC idea of how many people we'll be looking at. Looks like the dates would be May 21/22/23.

Keep it in the same format, so we can get a chart of some sort up.
example:

Cubs: YES
Hotel: NO
Meeting: YES

Oh, this thread is just for "charting" purposes, please keep all "talking" in the "Dream/Chicago Spring" thread.

Cubs: YES (only if it is Saturday afternoon OR Friday Evening game)
Hotel: Probably NOT
Meeting: YES (again, only if it is Saturday OR Friday evening....)

This is WAY early for me to commit. I think I will have a summer teaching contract for May, and I THINK I'm teaching on Friday from 11-1:40, but not sure.

Cubs - yes, whatever the group is doing
Hotel - no, I can stay at home, maybe even host someone

So far I count at the most 10 rooms (not sure to count Marriott or Drake as rooms!!) for trying to get a group discount that is!!

Keep 'em coming...

I forgot to count for Cub tickets....

(please know I was never good at math!!)

I'm thinking that a Cub game is a long game, so those dont want to go (understandable!!) There's shopping on the Magnificent Mile, and lots and lots of wonderful museums. I'll be able to put some great sightseeing options together. There is a great boat trip down the Chicago river that includes a history and architectual lesson, I've always enjoyed (we take the 3rd and 8th graders!), at night you can get a horse drawn carriage take you around... well you can take that during the day, I just notice it at night actually!! I reccomend the Art Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry (Science is far, but the Art is w/in walking distance!!) and in between the two you have the Aquarium, Field Museum... Lincoln Park has a well respected zoo...

So, if you are not into a long baseball game, I assure you,you will NOT be bored!! :)

(from my memory on shopping, the destination is usually Water Tower Place - an indoor mall I forget how many stories up... to get there you pass Tiffany's, Crate and Barrel, Nike Store, Hammer&schlimecher (yea like I can spell!!) The American Girl Place, and 2 Great Department stores Carson's and Marshall Field's (now a Dayton Hudson owned)

Hi Reader! You asked if I could teach you to do a table. The bordered table I used in the Northeast gathering thread can be found by clicking Format at the top of this page, on the next page click Other Formatting, then Tables and Lists. I'll show you the first few entries from this page for an example. (I have to add spaces so that you can see the example.)

You would type:

\ table { Name,Cubs,Hotel,Meeting
Julieboo,Yes,No,Yes
Spygirl,Yes,Yes w/Reiki,Yes
Egbok,Yes,Yes w/Tess,Yes }

Now I'll show how the table will look. When you decide to do your table, I'll be glad to help if you need me.

NameCubsHotelMeeting
JuliebooYesNoYes
SpygirlYesYes w/ReikiYes
EgbokYesYes w/TessYes
