RT on UA from IAH-ORD that weekend is just over $200 right now for Fri - Sunday. Lowest I have seen in a while. Not sure if any other routes are discounted right now or not, but I just booked my flight today! See you all in October!

*edit* I should also mention I got them for $256 each AI RT, which isn't great for a MR, but figured it was a good enough deal for me right now.

Just saw your post and decided to check it out. Wife and I are coming from IAD, I'll be the one attending while she enjoys the city. Looking forward to this, as it'll be my first DO.

Because I'm a cheap ......., I'm thinking about the 7AM flt from DCA-ORD. Anyone going to be around to play with during the day if I do that? Hot Doug's? Does the hotel have a bar? And what time does it open?

on Sat or Fri? I'm assuming latter. If so, I should be around and haven't made a hot doug's visit in awhile so that would be good. I can even provide transportation.

Just registered for this year. Wanted to wait until I felt sufficiently recovered from my Stage 4 Cancer to attend the seminars. ^
I may be difficult to understand (verbally) due to having neck & tongue surgery back this past December. I have not been able to swallow since my surgery on December 22, 2011. No worries, I am glad to be among friends! ^
I have taken 3 different trips by plane and the TSA have not hassled me over my liquid foods/prescriptions. I went back to work full time on May 14. ^
A big THANK YOU to all the people that were very kind & compassionate toward me at Chicago Seminars 2011 when I was in alot of pain. I very much enjoyed attending the last 2 years & very much look forward to attending again this year.
Sorry for the late registration but I am GLAD I will be attending! Will look forward to my 3rd year!

Warning: flights cancelled/time changed LAX to ORD
FYI in case you are on these flights:
I re-confirmed our travel plans and our flight from LAX to ORD on 10/10/12 is no longer listed on the website. I assume the flight is cancelled; however, no one has contacted me.
In addition, our return flight departure to LAX from ORD on 10/14/12 has changed by one hour, again, no one informed me and I found out just by double checking our reservations.
