I decided on the Chicago Essex Inn for hotel. It's fairly close, and there's a free shuttle back and forth each day and I have to get there early. I'm arriving Thursday night and my flight back leaves at 6:30 on Sunday. I'm actually so fuggin' looking forward to this con now  I'm looking forward to hooking up with Mark Pingitore more than meeting tan Lee lol .......just ask Aaron and my drunken voicemail messages i leave him  |

Move me over to the definite column. Just got the confirmation that I got a table in Artist's Alley. Fugg yes! Glad they came through Mark. I was worried.  Also, hell yes to Stinger coming too. Don't worry about being left stranded. We don't roll like that in the UG. I'll have a rental car so I'll be doing airport runs. Just let me know when you're arriving and what airport and airline via PM. Or you can take the train, it's up to you. You have options.  About hotels, I don't think we are all at the same hotel. Nobody has really posted much about where they are staying. Hotel?  ? I thought we was hitting the 24hr bars and strip joints through the night haha |

If anyone has sketch card commissions they definitely want to have done at the show, you can pm me any time before c2e2, and I can get a head start on having it started before the show with a half down payment. PM me for prices. Thanks!

What do you guys think would be the best time to arrive/depart? I just want it to be light outside when I arrive and come home.

Unfortunetly The GPK game is being delayed for a little bit it was just taking too much time to get it right. I plan on having it together hopefully later this year. It just needs to be perfect to really honor what it's about. HOWEVER! There is another project that the Legendary Tornshaun is working with me on that is going to be great! Shaun will be hopefully posting the promo image soon to give you guys a little taste. Here we go    |

Is there any way of getting any of the goodies and stuff available to the guys that attend sent to us lot in Europe that are unable to make it / justify to the missus a trans atlantic flight "just for bloody picture cards!!" (she just doesn't understand!)   Those Expo cards look great but not much chance of getting any unless unless, as I say, some really nice person would like to put together a goodie bag of some sort  I hope that someone out there hears my plea for help and becomes my knight in shining armour  |
