Too late to attend National?

Before I try and negotiate with my wife, I thought this might be a logical first stop.

Thx for any advice

Lollapalooza is going the exact same days which is not going to help. Most of those people try to stay close though, so not a ton of crossover there.

Schiller Park hotels are sketchy-avoid them. If you can get a Rosemont one right next to DSCC it will be worth the high price. If you want to stay close and save money, try towns along 90 Tollway west of the airport. Start with 60007 zip code and move west. Traveling 10 miles on the tollway won't cost you nearly as much time as coming from east or south of the venue.

Booking a flight even with 2 week notice was not bad; the hotel rooms under the NSCC purview are. of course. all sold out. But I actually spoke to the primary person coordinating the NSCC lodging and he helped me find a hotel, and you had to have a five night stay, at a place with a decent google rating no less for $85 per night. Of course, I'll have to cab/uber/etc. to get to and from the show but,,,, for a 2 week out notice that is not bad

Less than 2 weeks out. Any chance the convention gets cancelled due to the concerns over the delta variant? Gov seems pretty convinced that indoor super spreader events are leading the away to more cases.

no chance of cancellation...IMO. Let those who refused vaccines pay the praise...it is a choice.

Oh I agree but some cities are beefing up requirements again because of choice. Hard to talk about Covid impact without talking politics.

Advice? —wear a mask and make sure you are vaccinated

I'm more worried about the smell of Weed.....it's nasty and legal in IL.
