Thanks chgoeditor. I have a weird schedule next week so it actually works for me to stay out by Old Orchard.

Just as a point of interest....

I flew to MCI tonight and my seatmate told me that he had been in Chicago for the aforementioned International Manufacturing Technology Show. He described it as a very odd nearly all-male affair with a lot of wacky marketing displays geared towards men. In particular he said that ISCAR, the Israeli cutting tool company recently purchased by Berkshire Hathaway, had body-painted women with no actual clothes on - but that they wound up wearing bikinis the next day.
