Omni may be interesting, but Coupon Connection access will be very helpful in the future.
Thanks for the heads up --- I would have been very confused at Union Station
One way or another, I'll be there. 
Thanks for the ideas.

I am totally swamped with work & really shouldn't attend, but I decided I'm going to come anyway to see 2 of my favorite captains (if Dan makes it as well as Denny) & FTers.
I've decided to do the public transport thing, so will need a ride to/from the dinner if someone has a car. I'm at the Renaissance ORD Suites, which is at 8500 W. Bryn Mawr.
Cheers.

I checked in around 10 p.m. at the Sheraton ORD (formerly Sheraton Gateway, formerly Sheraton Suites). Shoeless Joe's is right across the street, so I mosied over for an Italian Beef to supplement the mushroom soup and cold chicken salad lunch provided earlier in the day by UA en route from SFO.
This was my first time at Shoeless Joe's. It's really loud. The server confirmed "A reservation for Bill for 25 at 6 p.m. Saturday." She said there are no private rooms and they don't turn down the music. I suppose we can text message each other.
The Sheraton has an airport shuttle that runs every 30 minutes until 11 p.m. and then on request after 11 p.m. I guess one could always take the Renaissance shuttle back to the airport and then catch the Sheraton shuttle followed by dodging traffic to get across the street to Shoeless Joe's on one green light ... and reverse the process after the Do.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight.
