7:30 is a good time for me, no matter whether you choose ORD, downtown, or some other venue accessible by mass transit...I am relatively "equi-distant"......Food choice should probably default to "Fast Willie", unless someone has a jones for something....
Best wishes, Dave

I would suggest Edison Park, we dined at a decent Italian joint there when Starwood Lurker was in town.

<I gotta remember to pack a wristwatch. I don't normally wear one, but I keep one on "local" time for the day or two before I leave, to try and trick myself into a faster Asian acclimation on the other end--so by my clock I'll be starting to drink at about 9AM ^
>I'm totally fine with either Italian or Mexican, though.

Sounds like at least Nick and I will be meeting up at ORD--hope the rest of you can make it!

I think you get in before me. My IND-ORD mainline flights usually land near C30, so we can wave to iluv2leavechicago as he goes through security, catch the ATS over to the E lot, and drive over.
