Cant wait to check it out! I don't get on here much, but I am looking forward to your event. Last year was excellent! Thanks for tossing this party every year Terry! On a side note, I am buds with Kurt at Hemispheres and I just peeked on his new site. Looks like he has some pins there along with some other nice titles he will have over at his showroom 10 minutes from you. (yes a shameless plug for a good friend) I will be sure to say hello. Can't wait!

You guys will not be taking 290 to and from. You will be taking 90 East to 53 north to lake Cook Road west to Milwaukee ave, and yes it is under construction BUT it is just about wrapped up in most places and is flowing pretty good. I drive it daily.... plus you will be heading eastbound to get back to expo and most traffic backups on 90 for the eve rush west of route 53 are westbound. 53 north to lake cook road may be a bit backed up but not until 4:30ish. If you allow 1.5 hours that should be more than enough time.
