Duggeh Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) So who's going? When are people arriving and leaving? I'm trying to suss out what my best options for flights/dates are. I've got a friend lives in Chicago who I'll be trying to visit which gives a little flex. Is there some kind of masterplan or is everyone just doing their own thing?

luvdunhill Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm going to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm about 50/50 right now. It's 2 days before Lily's birthday and I'm doing what I can to convince my wife that celebrating it the following weekend would be the best option. It's also unclear whether or not the whole family will make the trip so that the wife/kid can visit friends who live in the city or if I'll make the typical solo trip.

Deadneddz Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm definately going. Probably going to fly in a day before the main event, which also happens to be my birthday. I have no idea if there will be a pre-meet in Chicago the night before, but LA had one so it's probably likely there will be one in Chicago also. Canjam at LA was awesome this year, so I can't imagine missing the big one if I don't have a good reason too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp11801 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I plan on being there most likely Thursday through Sunday to be able to get a day in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manaox2 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm scheduled in an attempt to not miss work that day, its going to be tight. I depart from RDU on June 4th at 4 pm and will arrive at 7:56 pm in Chicago. I will then depart Chicago on June 6th at 7:45 pm and arrive back at RDU at 10:45 pm. I still need to reserve a room at Hyatt O'Hare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless1 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Planning on driving in. Probably come in on Friday and leave Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've never been to a Canjam, when does it run, Saturday-Sunday or Friday-Sunday? I plan on driving up the day before, and driving back the day after, whatever the plan is. (So I'm thinking driving up Friday, driving back Monday.) Dan -- you want to carpool? Or you got other plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm in a similar boat as Nate. Jack's birthday is June 1, and having his party on Memorial Day weekend may not be feasible. As of now, I'm in, but I need to put my actual chances at 50/50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkam Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'll be there for sure. Probably get in thursday/friday and leave monday/tuesday. Not sure if I'll be flying or driving though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Maybe, depending on what work is at that time. I will make it if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I am in, and will probably arrive Thursday and leave late Sunday or early Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I will be there if it doesn't conflict with family vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Ill definitely be there physically and I'll probably be there mentally as well. The "official" dates are Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th. There will definitely be pre- and post events for the willing and brave-at-heart. I will definitely be at-in-around the hotel on Thursday but may be there even earlier. I still need to reserve a room at Hyatt O'Hare. Do. It. Now.

Asr Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm all in for this one. Travel plans not yet made but I'll most likely be there Wednesday through Monday. I'm gonna need 2 days to soak in Chicago. I also regretted missing the post-Sunday activities at the last two CanJams so I'm gonna be sure to make it this time.

VPI Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I will probably show up around Thursday afternoon and leave Sunday night or Monday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozebuttons Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I will be flying in on Friday,not sure early or late ,Flying out Sunday Evening. Thats my plan nothing booked yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I intend to be there. Joanne and I have yet to visit Chicago, so that was an easy sell. Logistics have yet to be determined, but the plan is to take advantage of the pre and post meet festivities, and what is looking more and more like the 1st annual meeting of the JH-13's owners club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 The flight costs vary little if I shuffle days around a little. So it'll come down to extra room monies, or if I end up staying with my friend Doug in the city. Nominally I'd do arrive Thursday, fly out Monday. I'm supposed to be sharing a room with Birgir so the days he wants to spend in pizza-pie town factor in. For those around on the Thursday night. I'm sure I'll have something tasty in my suitcase for a wee sup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
