Woot! I can't wait to book my tickets and find a good hotel room and....oh wait, I already live here!

Just over 9 months to go.

Miller's Pub is a great place to eat. They have the best spaghetti that I have ever eaten in a restauraunt.

We're looking forward to it here at the Vapor World Headquarters

A couple days and I should have some teaser pics. How's a 92db sensitive floorstander with a 15" woofer sound? We'll be in Room 709, can't wait to share some beers and conversation.

yes it is a great bar. however it is no where close to the show. just so everyone knows, the show is actually in rosemont, close to ohare airport, not in the city. it is very easy to get to the city by car, taxi ($$$) or el (the elevated train, cheap and easy to use - just ask any friendly face, people in chicago are used to helping tourists on the el).

Sorry, I was remembeing all the times I went to the CES show back in the 80's and 90s and we always ate at Miller's. Chicago does have the best tasting food in America, but is not good to go there if you are on a diet.

We'll have our Q7D diffusers (16 of them) in the Von Schweikert Audio room. Unfortunately, I already have previous commitments and will not be at the show. The products will have to speak for themselves

Bryan- glad to hear you've got some products that will be there! We were really hoping to see some GIK and were disappointed not to see you on the list. We're quickly getting close to acoustics time for our basement build out.

Thanks for the heads up- we'll add that as a 'must see' room.

That's was to park at the overflow hotel, no I've been there many times just forget things like that

Too many good places to eat in Chicago. Here are my craft beer bar recommendations on the Northside.

Hopleaf, killer mussels, insane Belgian list.

Fountainhead http://fountainheadchicago.com/

Can't wait for the show.

The day prior to the show I am going to Audio Consultants in Evanston for their Hi Fi event. Wilson Maxx3's, Amphion, and Magnepan 20.7 will be demoing along with some other manf. I am booked for 3 nights at the Embassy Suite Hotel. Anyone who want's to get together give me a pm, I am coming in from South Bend IN.

The Axpona people have said they've already sold over 1500 attendee tickets, that's RMAF territory. I'm surprised there isn't more discussion about it here.

Thanks for the food/beer suggestion pslate. Both of those look great!

Anybody want to meet up Friday or Saturday night?
