yes, absolutely. if they have the valor to make the trip to chicago, they are either extremely bored or know exactly what they are getting into. we have had several significant others at each dinner. |

Vintage newbie here. Man, I can't believe I'm going to miss this cool event. I hope you guys have this same type of dinner next year when the National comes out my way to Anaheim. I can't wait to meet all of you vintage guru's/crazies. I've learned sooooo much from this board. |

I'm not really a contributor on this board (and I don't collect vintage cards), but I "lurk" on this board regularly. The information exchanged here is incredible, and I truly enjoy reading your posts. With all that said, you guys might want to consider checking into the RAM Brewery in Rosemont. The food is great, the prices are reasonable, and they have a good size "back room" that you might be able to get blocked off for the group. It's about 1 mile from the convention center. |

I'm with Scott (including the volunteering of Leon ). The group is getting larger every year, I think our priority is to sit around and talk about cards, not being rushed. The food is a low priority. Some sort of private room in a hotel might work best. |

After Harry Carey's phone didn't work the lady took my name and number and told me (twice) she would walk over and have someone call me right back. I waited...and waited. No call. Pizza or whatever sounds fine to me. It's way more about chatting and a good venue than eating anyway. I eat (too much) everday but I don't get to hang out with guys that collect pictures of other guys that often Wives and significant others are more than welcome, imo too. Let's continue the quest....regards...ps..will check out the other recommendations too..... |

For those of us that can't make it, would enjoy seeing a group picture posted after the event (with names maybe). |

Where is Pete C. for a suggestion? He took a few of us to a bar after the show and I got a free t-shirt because they didn't like the fact I had a tank top on with my arm pit hairs showing. Still have the shirt, It reads "Do not take Home" not exactly a great shirt to wear in a bar for a single guy, but if does fit. |

It has been said previously by a few others but I also am a newbie on this board but not new to collecting. Since I am a local and plan on calling in sick.....I mean taking personal time from work and being at the convention for 3 days, please count me in. |

I'm no artist, but the Chicago Art Museum is very cool and worth seeing. It's on Michigan Avenue, just south of the Magnificient Mile, so shopping and spending is very close at hand... |

How about a restaurant in a nearby hotel. I'm sure they have private rooms available, as with any decent hotel with restaurants near the airport. This way, we could avoid a room rental fee and go with a restaurant but one with a large enough private room? |
