Well, I will try to make it....how far is the Sheraton from the Palmer? If I can talk a clustermate or two into coming with me I'll go, but I doubt I'll journey by myself!
How many of us aren't promoting by conference?:cry: We can meet up for lunch on Monday too...maybe at McCormick.

Lacy don't cry, we will map out our plan to promote at lunch. Do we want to meet in the food court like last year, or the Mcd's food court?

PS remember Cheryl will have the horn at leadership.
 
What all places are at McCormick? The only thing I can remember is McD's...wonder if restaurants are listed on their website? I'll check....

yes, let's make our plan together! The horn makes me a little nervous though...:p

This is where we had our daytime meeting last year:

The Plate Room Food Court, located on level 2.5 of the South building, offers an interesting array of items available to take on the run or to be enjoyed in the adjacent seating area. Six food concepts are available at this location, including Little Italy, Antipasto Bar, Pacific Rim, the American Grill, The Carvery and Fiesto Bravo. So whether you are craving a gourmet sandwich or salad, Mandarin Orange Chicken with Fried Rice or an authentic Pastrami Reuben, you can find it all at the Plate Room Food Court.

Here's a link (I hope) for an interactive floor plan of McCormick.

And I'm not sure where McDonalds is at.

If you attended career club lunch or any of the classes that were as far away from the theatre as you can get, you were near this restaurant. I think of it as being on the second floor.

It is a cafeteria style place. . .and not all the food-types listed were available. They have a salad bar, a grill and other options.
 
okay, it's listed as being on level "2.5" in McCormick Place South Building.

The Arie Crown Theatre is located in McCormkick Place Lakeside -- this may help you get your bearings as you look at the floor plans on the link.
 
Yes, I've been to the career lunch; that's the area I figured this restaurant was at. Maybe I'll just come early...;)
 
Lacy It is one level below McD's and all the way at the end. I got lost last year but I found it. I can meet up w/ you and show you where, it was decent food I thought.
 
Oh we need a cheffer sign to hold up, a table tent of some sorts.
 
Ok so is this on the floor below the Starbucks????

Yeah, maybe we should just meet inside McCormick...maybe at the entrance to where you walk across to the other side or something. I feel better knowing you got lost last year!

Is starbuck's on the same floor as McD's then yes, but part of me thinks we walked past it
 
I think I might have saw the McD's sign on the floor below Starbucks but I am not 100% positive.
 
How do you get the cute smilies, etc in your signature??

Yes, that's the place! What time everyone? 11:30 maybe?
 
11:30 sounds good. I was thinking about that before you posted. That should give us plenty of time to chat and eat before General Session.
