Mike, Hope you and Rob can work this out and find us a quality site
that can hold us all. Last year's Expo was fantastic, and this one is
sure to be even better attended, but I think most of us would welcome a
little nicer place as far as the quality of the rooms and
loading/unloading availability, even if it costs us a little more.

There is a White Castle located on River Road (near River Rd and Rand
Rd). It is direcly next to a 7-11 and McDonalds).

For Acommodations: There is a sleezy motel across the street. It
probably is small motel looks is accustom to sleeping 3 to a bed.
Someone will need to create a hotbunking schedule around the
leacture/discussions at Expo. If sleeping 3 to a bed and hot-bunking
are part of your Expo travel ritual, this place is probably a good
place.

I would personally recommend adjust your diet to allow you a larger
varity of Fast Food and Hotels, or plan to be the sweaty guy in the
middle of a man sandwich (also known as a MANwich)

good, i got the flu 2 years in a row at that hotel and the rooms had
mold on the walls behind the curtains in which i complained about, not
good. those were the "suites" too.
get a clean venue and maybe one closer to chicago or downtown. there
is a big hotel downtown on the nice side of town (with wide streets)
which has many large ballrooms. i want to say its the radisson, not
sure thow. they hold body building equipment shows there.

Hey, wait a minute. I almost got a date at that McDonalds. (That
would have been a first). The ice breaker was my show name badge. She
was on lunch from a nearby office. When she found out I wasn't a local
she decided to decline. She said she did not want to fall in love with
a guy from all the way out on the west coast. Her whole family was in
and around Chicago and she couldn't relocate. She was attractive and
fun company for lunch. Best seminar I ever missed was that day. How
are the women hanging around White Castle?

Sounds like you had a good experience at McDonalds, Mario

I'm married, so I don't pay a lot of attention to the women at McDonalds
or White Castle... if I were looking for *scenery*, I'd have driven to
the nearest Hooters in Chi town.

I intended to do so last year, but it just didn't happen. Maybe this
year! A convoy from wherever to Hooters... Anyone else in?

Let me type this in all caps so the point is made:

MIKE, DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, LOCATE EXPO WITHIN A TEN-MILE
RADIUS OF A WHITE CASTLE RESTAURANT. IF YOU IGNORE THIS ADVICE, YOU
WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR UNTOLD DEATHS AND WILL CERTAINLY BE ARRESTED
FOR BIOLOGICAL TERRORISM

I don't know how many of you have actually eaten these things, but the
thought of hundreds of pinheads, many of them overweight, scarfing down
white castles and then congregating in one location REALLY scares me

The last few expo's I've made it a point to go to the Hooters with a
few pinbuds. For the reasons that Mike S. mentions and for the good
food.

Hotbunking- usually done in military (mainly Navy) when sleeping in
shifts. One man leaves the bed, another gets in. Bed never cools
down.

So, I'm guessing people will prefer Hooters over White Castle (with
convienent sleezy motel). So hotbunking with 3 to a bed will have to
be at someones request.

Not to be anal, but

The official White Castle spelling is "Slyder"

Please John, don't use anal and White Castle in the same sentence.

It brings back too many "college" memories. :-)

Since we're way off topic....

The Air Force uses guard dogs to guard their bases. The Navy uses
Marines. Why, you might ask does the Air Force use guard dogs.

Answer: They got first pick.

I heard an ex Air Force guy tell this to an former active marine at
work, we got a good chuckle.

Yeah don't use smoke and.........well, anything for that matter....in a
sentence. Poor Bryan will be haunted forever from previous fixes.

Don't worry Rick. Bryan enjoyed it more than they did. ( Frat brothers or
slyders )

What difference would that make? Nobody
SLEEPS at Expo anyway!

Just get CHEAP rooms so we have a place

Since we're way off topic....

As with those in Electronic Weapons, in my toolbox was my issue 45 cal.
Once one of the Marines was telling a visitor that his M-xx was issued
to shoot me if we were about to be captured. When asked why I had a
45 cal I told the guy it was issued to me to shoot the Marine because
they talk too much! You should have seen the look on his face.
