LMAO, I'm not near as bad as John portrays me to be.
Speaking of...what days are you guys going ? Sat....I might make it in the morning but I have a baby shower to go to from 2-5 in Hoffman estates which is down the road. Maybe we can hook up for dinner on Sat. I have Russ's number, few of you guys have mine. Text me with the plans for Sat. night.

Where should i try to make a reservation for dinner? Pizza again for the out of town folks? Or somewhere else? As we found out last year, places had 2 hour waiting for walk in.

I'm game for about anything as long as there is MEAT
Do the exhibitors allow us to play our own music? CDs at least. I understand why vinyl most likely not.
Maybe after hours, but you're not going to hijack their presentation for the rest of the people. One thing you must understand is this will be a very cramped and busy room for the most part. The door will be in constant motion.
I'm not saying that they will be unreasonable at all. Most are going to be streaming the music. Yes they will be high end platters and such but the majority will be streaming.
^^ What Ivan said. At smaller shows sure, bring your on CDs and vinyl, but at a show of this caliber probably not. That being said, I'm sure if you ask the person running the room "Can you play something from <Well Known Artist Name>?" they would probably honor your request.
In other news, I've just made an amazing discovery, there is a CULVER'S under a mile from the hotel. I know where I will be eating! Love their burgers and frozen custard!
