My sister is running the Chicago Marathon on Sunday so I decided to stay in the city and split a hotel with her (and cheer her on on Sunday, so won't come to those events in the morning).
Is there anyone else staying in the city and want to share cabs between ORD and Chicago? I'm staying at the Radisson Blu Friday night, then another hotel close to the race starting line on Saturday night ....
If not, I'm open to suggestions on best/cheapest ways to get between the city and the ORD hotel/overflow hotel with shuttle.

Car-Free attendance strategy?
What's the best hotel choice, at this late date, for attending the seminars without renting a car or paying for taxis? I haven't attended before, so I don't have a "feel" for how flexible the host hotel shuttles are, or which nearby hotels are most convenient, now that the #1 and #2 are sold out.
Flying into ORD Thursday night, leaving Sunday night. Any suggestion for a hotel choice would be most welcome, as would be advice that I'm dreaming, if that's the case.
Seems a shame to pay for a car that'll sit at the Holiday Inn all day while I'm inside. I'd prefer to spend that money lavishing gratitude on the new friend that advises me well ;-)
Replies or PMs welcome

I am really looking forward to this event. Went to the first one and was really impressed by the excellent work done by an all-volunteer cast. I hope that if there are problems, people will be understanding and appreciative of the efforts of others.
Is there any way to waitlist for the sessions that are already full?

all that's been said is that there is no wait-list for sold out sessions. What hasn't been addressed is the "none" option in the registration drop down. what does this get you? your pick once you get to the seminars? is the size of the room being decided based on who registers for which session? or are the two sessions being divided equally amongst conference rooms which would explain the grayed out sessions?

As embarrassed as I am, I just have to put this out there. I have been thinking I had booked a room for this event for months! Imagine my surprise when I looked more closely at the reservation to see that what I was looking at was my 2012 reservation! (red-faced embarrassment) I even went back and looked at it twice!
So, I have options to stay elsewhere, and could stay elsewhere, but would really prefer to stay at the HI Elk Grove. I am just putting my name out there in case anyone decides to cancel and would like to pass the room on to someone.
Thanks.

If that doesn't pan out, what's the best alternative that doesn't require a rental car? Any advice welcome.
Cheers all.

I'm in the same boat, with an even lamer excuse. On the bright side, I can guarantee I'll be 37% more grateful! If anyone has a room at HI Elk Grove, please PM me. Many many thanks.
