Oh yeah, I'll be there Wednesday night as well, but we may be doing something cluster wide (we usually order pizza)

Time - as soon as we get otu of opening ssession and make our way to the Sheraton

Frame Exchange? - that's Wave 1...or maybe 3...I vote for an OFFICE SUPPLIES EXCHANGE (and I know Janet's with me on this one)!!!!
How 'bout we each bring $5 worth of office supplies wrapped up in wrapping paper to do a gift exchange with??

Nope - the Paino Bar is a few blocks away.

Janet - what hotel are you?
 
Would ya'll have a big problem if my hubby was with me? I hate to abandon him EVERY night. We could all give him a hard time being the only man around. :)
 
I'm at the Hilton. We will be arriving Wed afternoon.
 
I'm at the Hilton, too. Remember to PM me if you want to be on the cell phone list. Include your hotel too. :) I'll e-mail it to everyone on Tuesday before we all leave. I'm all for the office supplies too.
 
For those of us saying that we are at the Hilton, there are two Hiltons being used for Conference. The Chicago Hilton (where I'm at) and the Palmer House Hilton. Some of you might be trying to meet in two different places.

As soon as she decides whether or not to book her dang flight, I'll put her in touch with u

Gee, that's an airline I'm not familiar with. Are they inexpensive? ;)
 
I am at the Chicago Hilton also. Is that where everyone is planning to meet? I am not sure what my group has planned. The rest of my group is not part of chef success. So, where exactly is the meeting?
 
We've got at least one group meeting at the lounge at the Sheraton at 9 p.m. on Thursday evening. You're welcome to join us. The more, the merrier.

Palmer House Hilton right now - on the waiting list for the Sheraton.
 
Carolyn - we still have room for one more in ours too...looking for that last person...

...and still hoping to get into the Sheraton.

Sounds good Carolyn! Thanks!:D
 
Ok so there are 2 bars at the Sheraton, The Chi Bar and the Java Bar. Which one are we meeting at?
 
I am also staying at the Chicago Hilton and I'm coming in Wednesday around 6pm. I hope I am able to meet up with all of you, we are doing some cluster celebrating and I don't know the specifics and a couple of girls wanted to go to Howlin' At the Moon on Thursday. I did email my cell to Crystal though...hopefully it will work out that I get to meet all of you great gals!
