Super 8 pricing trend

If the hotels in that area are all booked up now, then we have to move the show
elsewhere - preferably somewhere with an airport.

The only benefit from the Toy and Train Museum is that they let us have the
space for free. Not much good if we can't get a place to sleep.

I say we make next year's meet at Art Baltazar's comic shop in Skokie IL.
We can fly into Midway or O'Hare or drive in from several states.

Mmmm, now that would change my trip from an 8 hr drive to a little over 2hrs.

We started discussing some of these issues before our tires were even cool. Wheeling has a very low ceiling and at some point it's likely that we'll try something else. 2013 may be pushing it; 2014 is probably more realistic.....especially if we move it to Toronto. Passports are a PIA and I think it's fair to allow people plenty of time to get their papers in order.

I think Chicago is a great idea. There are lots of non-stop flights from the West Coast to O'Hare so we may get a different mix of members. Toronto would be good also, but a bit more logistics.

I dunno about Toronto. I have a passport...not sure if they expire or whatnot. I'd definitely have to fly and might be out of my budget range.

The breakfast at the super8 is awful... Was happy to see waffles added only to realize they were stale stale stale... The buffalo one had a fresh waffle machine.

Breakfast at that Super 8 is almost non-existant. You're better off goin to McDonalds for Breakfast. I never checked out Hoss's for breakfast tho.

From what I'm reading there's no loss of interest in attending Mego Meet but it seems the hotels and restaurants just can't keep up with us.

I'm pretty sure Toronto is out for me. I'm all for keeping it in Wheeling if we can find another hotel. The free ride at Kruegers will be hard to beat somewhere else.

GEEZ - WE'RE NOT MOVING TO TORONTO. My planning skillz may not be mad, but they're at least grumpy enough to keep it in the U.S.

The Hampton Inn has a swimming pool. Not that I want to see any of you in a bathing suit.
