I will need to close a couple of shows while at conference. Anybody know where I could find free WIFI?
 
Man there is no way I would transmit a show over free WiFi. Not with people's credit card numbers. They can say it's secure, I just wouldn't trust it. Pay the $10 and have it in your room and hook up with a CAT5 cable.
 
If you are staying at the Hilton, there is a Caribou Coffee about a block away and they have free WiFi.

I also found free WIFI at Dominick's at Grand and Fairbanks. You just need to purchase something.
