Deep Dish Pizza: Giordono's - 135 E Lake St, Chicago IL 60601 or Uno's (I would however suggest going diagonally across the street to Due's, as that location is less busy, exact same restaurant/food, just not the 'original' location which isn't really a big deal at all) Due's - 619 N Wabash Ave, Chicago IL 60611 The wait is LONG! (45min-1hr) No reservations accepted, when you arrive you place your order, then ~45min later you get your table, then drinks/other food, then Pizza! Both are good. If everyone gives me or cory their hotel locations I can try and figure out possible good locations. If you have any Chicago questions let me know. Any Chinese, Japanese or Mexican joints local?

As this gets closer it's killing me and now I’m trying to, at last minute, attend the C2E2. Can still get a train seat up there, but last minute hotel prices are a bit too pricey. I'm still trying to sort somewhere to crash out for the friday and sat nights. We'll see if it works out.

Actually, Chicago style pizza is very overrated. I am up for an ethnic restaurant, but will go where the group goes.
Travis, looking forward to meeting you!

I have this weird thing that I don't like bread. I'll only eat garlic bread or bread sticks. You will never see me eat a sandwich. If I have a hamburger its without the bun. Bottom line, I pretty much just like the meat.

I still don't have everyone's number. If you haven't sent me your number yet do it now please.
At the very least I would like everyone attending to meet at Mark's table (R16 in Artist Alley)at 1:00PM sharp on Saturday. This is when we will hold the raffle for the prizes and try to get get a decent picture together.
Since the prizes are so valuable at this UG Con, here are the ground rules for the prize raffle. YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RAFFLE. Only members of this board will be able to participate in the raffle...and you must have been a member for at least 30 days. If I don't recogninze the member name then you will have to sign in to your UG account from your smartphone to prove your identity. One entry per family (no wives, girlfriends, boyfriends or kids, sorry) to keep the odds fair. People that have been banned from the UG and not officially reinstated are ineligible to participate even with a UG account. If you have any questions you can PM me.
