The wife got me expo for my birthday present. Westin was sold out which sucks. Staying at Holiday Inn about a mile away. I need 2 tickets to the Stern party if anyone knows where to get them. First Expo so I am stoked.

Me too. Its going to be great with all the reveals. She also baked this cake.

My wife baked a chocolate cake then covered it in something called fondit. (Fondit tastes like ass, don't tell her). She then got someone to printout an edible film of a walking dead pinball image. Then stuck it on the fondit.

I'm debating on whether to rent a car or not. When I went to New York I made the mistake of renting and it just sat in parking. What's the consensus on renting a car for people coming into O'hare and staying at the Holiday Inn? Is a car needed in Chicago?

Booked a car. If the Dodgers and Cubs win thursday, I'll have to get tickets for saturday.

I should have taken the night off. Gotta go 2 hours ot until 5am. Flight is at 6:50. Gonna be close

Just made it. About to take off.

I could have posted these pictures. Same experience. United flight onto the Alamo/National bus in the rain. Little nap, now headed to expo.

You were quicker with the camera than I was.

The JJP logo on his jacket would have given him away.

The monkey died

They said around 4k. Not gonna work.

I'm glad I stopped by the Martin Wiest talk. He was giving out a bunch of these.
