Come up to Chicago..... we will take a train there. 95 bucks each way. Still 30+ dollars cheaper than airfare and who knows how much from driving. 180 dollars + tax. Not bad. Adam and I for sure will be going, not sure who wants to join us along the way if the train ride is the way you want to go! http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer/AM_Route_C/1237608341980/1237405732511

Hey Danny, Looks as though we will be driving. Its just more fuel efficient and I am all about saving the $.

But thanks for thinking of me. LOL. Will definately see ya there. I got my room booked now, so its all good!
 
How long is everyone staying? We are trying to decide when to leave Denver via Amtrak. We can leave at 7:50 P.M. Sunday or Monday. Or noon with Scott Bennett back to Omaha for a 5:54 A.M. train back to Chicago.... Just wondering if anyone will be around for a day.
 
I am still a maybe. Still trying to talk the wife into a nice quite weekend in Denver , with me in and out . Problem.......... She is scared to death of large cities. So I am a 50/50 chance.
 
For those who have not booked a hotel yet, you can actually get the red lion hotel for $65 a night on hotels.com if you stay 2 nights (which everyone will be). Their promotion is if you stay 2 nights you get 45% off your stay and I have no idea how long that promotion will last.

Hey thanks Wesley, just got my room through there. That is the best deal I have seen so far. I have been to alot of conferences and I always prefer to stay in the same hotel as the conference, otherwise its kinda a pain.
 
This will be my first Chaser-con. I am not sure if I will be flying in or driving yet. If i can muster a group together from the Great lakes area, IL/IN/KY/OH etc, it will be sharing the driving / gas costs etc. :) If anyone is interested in coming with my "party" let me know! We can get something figured out.

We'll be going this year and we're not far from you. Live on the east side of Champaign/Urbana, IL so all you would have to do is take I-74 west which, if I would be correct, you would take anyways to get to Denver. We're meeting up with another guy in Salina, KS on the way there and driving along with him. Let me know if your interested in my offer! Thanks...and see ya there!
 
We are planning to go this year. Thanks for the info on the nearby hotels...
 
Also want to put my e-mail down. Its [email protected] if anyone wants to take me on my offer. I know others suggested it and it sounds like a good idea to me (tagging along with others and split hotel costs and such). We're driving out of Champaign/Urbana so anyone along the way is welcome to drive along with us. E-mail me if interested!
 
Just booked my room with Red Lion! Will be heading out on Thursday with a couple friends and staying through Sunday! Decided not to go with a separate hotel nearby, its just easier and less of a hassle to stay at the actual hotel. Cant wait to see everyone there! :)
 
Yeah, Randy, I agree... If you do not stay at the host hotel, you really miss out on a lot of the stuff going on; like the various hotel room parties, the lobby bar area where many hang out and socialize, etc.
I suppose if saving a few bucks on accommodations is what gets you to the convention then, by all means, do what you have to do.
 
My father-in-law (Darren Addy) and I just registered for the conference; will see you all in February!

We also signed up for Vasquez's class -- has anyone ever been to his classes in the past? What can we expect? I could sure use an upgrade to my chaser-fu!
