Late to this thread.... I'm 90% there, for my first pin expo....have to wait until Wednesday to insure no incredible fires at work....( sure I'll pay double for airfare at that point) best ( cheap) hotel available? Thursday thru Saturday gig for me....really hoping I can pull this off...

Added over 8 years ago: Update...100% in!!!....

Quoted from FalconPunch:

I'd like to know too!

Me three!! sounds like Uber is best bet......

#158 7 years ago
Quoted from highdef:

FWIW - Uber was $21 last year (from hotel to ORD).

Thanks for that info....I'll need to count on them to get me from WESTIN to Holiday Inn Express, as well...

Another question from expo newbie ( me):

I didn't pay for any " package deals" as I will only be there Thursday and Friday ( flying back Saturday AM)

If I want free play time, get into exhibit hall, and attend BM meet and greet / JJP3 reveal and deep dive / and Alien talk, how much is that going to cost ( says cash only at this point)?

Thanks...Mark

Quoted from MrBally:

Kinda what my schedule will be. $30 Expo admission per day, plus $60 for seminars so $120.00 Does not include Stern tour on Thursday morning. That's another $50 IIRC.

Thanks for heads up...I'm not doing the Stern tour...don't think my flight makes it in time....I'll want to reset a bit anyway, before the madness starts ...

Brett, you ARE the man!!!...was going to take some pics, but you covered everything in spades.....really cool to meet a lot of industry legends, along w " name to face" alignment. Really some great people out there!!! Great times w some great people.

Very successful trip for me , and glad I went. Thanks to all the vendors, manufacturers etc. to make this a great opener for me ( yes, I will be at TPF now)....

ALIENLE, BM66LE ....bring it!!! Safe travels to all ( I'm firmly back on the coach, still absorbing the experience)....mark

Quoted from j_m_:

wow! I initially read that as "bath buddies". I was a little leery around brett and maybe now I know why

too funny....the difference in one letter........
