We'll have a table there. Be sure to drop by.

P.S. If you're coming on Sunday, be sure to get there as early as possible since a number of dealers leave early to catch flights.

Hey guys,

For those who haven't been there, I believe this Holiday Inn is now the Crown Plaza.
I wouldn't want someone driving up and down the street not finding the Holiday Inn.

Kudos, Carol. I just called them, and RIGHT YOU ARE. It is now a Crown Plaza.

I will edit the first post -- I'd hate people to look for 'River Roda' when they really want 'River Road'

I was thinking about attending with my wife to celebrate our anniversary but the airfares are outrageous.

That's a bummer. I agree about the airfares. Ridiculous to O'Hare. By the time you fork out the bus/taxi costs from Midway, that's outrageous as well.

We'll be there through tomorrow. Please stop by! Table 507.
