That sounds good to me.  I just found out a couple of weeks ago that my cousin is going to school in Chicago, so may have to ditch to go and visit with him.  Still working on those details, so might make it too.

Did everyone see the blurb about FINCON11 in October's Fast Company?  It's on page 32 in case you have it sitting on your desk, or is that just me?

I'm digging my way out of some serious debt at

Sorry, it may not be just you, but it's not me.  Cool beans though!

Regarding a Yakezie get-together at FINCON:

The Agenda is now saying a happy hour at 5:30 Saturday, and a party at 8.

We could still do dinner.

According to the hotel website (http://www.marriott.com/hotels…..chaumburg/), there aren't a lot of restaurants in easy walking distance.  I'm driving in, so distance isn't a major issue for me (or 4 of the people I decide I like the most!).

There are 2 restaurants/lounges in the hotel, but they are never very cheap.

Let's get a headcount of who's going to be there and who's interested in a get-together.

I'm actually from Chicago.  There's a place near Woodfield Mall called "Todai".  It's an all you can eat sushi buffet.  I'm not a fan of buffet's, but this place is really good.  A bit pricey though.  There's a ton of good restaurants around the Woodfield Mall Shopping area!

If anyone is looking for a place to stay still, try searching on AirBnb.

Does anyone know what events – if any – spouses without tickets can attend?

As of today, there's a free shuttle running between the conference and the Streets of Woodfield(where all the restaurants are).  http://www.financialbloggercon…..day-night/

I'm still planning pizza/beer/begged conference room, but other options just got more friendly.
