Sounds fun! Though I wish we could coax our overseas members to hop the pond. I'm interested, and with that much notice, could likely attend. I do have a couple questions however:
1. What hotel chain are we looking at? Are we locked in to that particular chain?
2. Did you already contact the banquet manager/hotel manager to negotiate group rates?
3. Do we have an opinion with regard to non players (e.g. family) who may want to attend?
As a side note, I have a brother-in-law who works for Marriott. In the past, he was able to secure friends/family rates. Moreover, he might be willing to help negotiate a cheaper group rate. Just wanted to throw that out there.

We have contact several hotels and the Holiday inn is offering the best rates. All the info posted above is for the Holiday in hotel. We did contact Marriott and never revived a quote for there hotels.
Family is always welcome. Please feel free to bring as many people as you would like.

Last time we meet up we meet in New Orleans. We picked Chicago for both being a new location we have not gone to before and that it is the most central location for the majority of our members. If this event goes well we will continue to hold events in different locations every year.

I live about 2 1/2 hours away and hope to make the trip. It would be a one day thing for me but will need to see what is going on when the time comes.

A good investment for this get together would be to get those toy knifes, in which the blades retract into the handles
