Joe Mifsud 928114 Posted November 21, 2005 at 10:41 PM Posted November 21, 2005 at 10:41 PM Hey I just thought of something (took me three posts but I got it ) For those of us who can't come to the convention, would it be possible to tape the presntations, put them in a ZIP file and let everybody download them? Live streaming would be pretty cool, but I'm sure that would be alot of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Smith Posted November 25, 2005 at 11:05 PM Posted November 25, 2005 at 11:05 PM I would think that since Chicago O'Hare Airport is right next door, someone would arrange for a aircraft viewing activity. I'm sure I would be more inclined to take part in this than a cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts]. How about another event where we all go into downtown Chicago?

Best, Chris Thanks Chris, Mark Z has already stated that he's working a field tour of KORD, not sure where we are on that, but, I'm guessing that you'll have some pretty good viewing activity there... The presentors I'm looking for is for the morning of Saturday. There will be plenty going on Sat afternoon and evening... I'm working the agenda now and should have it done fairly soon I hope.

Mark Zameda 810257 Posted November 26, 2005 at 02:45 AM Posted November 26, 2005 at 02:45 AM If I could find someone working for the City of Chicago that returns a phone call, we'd be in business on the tour. Right now we're still slated to offer two exclusive opportunities besides the tour of ORD, but the details for those will only be availble to those that sign up I've gotten a lot of mish mashed answers, simply because we are so far away from the date that many people that offer tours have not been able to commit that far into the future.

Chris Smith Posted November 26, 2005 at 06:00 AM Posted November 26, 2005 at 06:00 AM Is there a parking garage that is close to all the action that you can observe from? I hear Midway is in a rough neighborhood! But It might be a cool field trip.
