    I'm pretty sure there's one happening in NYC, but I don't have the details from the organizer yet :) And I'm not sure if there will be RockBand stuffs?

    I hate you all. This sounds like so much fun. Instead, I'm stuck at school in Columbus. Hm...maybe we should do something like this here...

    Awesome Jeremy!

    I've been having a hard time coming up w/hotel ideas (for group discount) since there really aren't very many in the direct area of the Ashland.

    Does city dweller have suggestions other than finding one off the Brown line?

    Waiting on final confirmation, but GameStop will be donating RockBand hats & t-shirts and some other goodies :)

    I'm going to the Ashland tonight w/Maggie to suss the place out and work on final details!

    (and yeah, see if I can get Maggie to play some RB!)

    Maggie and I went to meet Adam from The Ashland last night. What a super COOL bunch of guys they are!!

    The bar sits right on the corner and has plenty of room both in front and out back for a lot of people. They were also getting their patio together while we were there as well. These guys were extremely nice and accomodating and the bar environment is very PJ fan friendly.. lots of posters, comic stuff, and just a general non-poseur vibe to it all. Really liked this place.

    They are working on trying to get a beer sponsor for the night as well as some extra special goodies from GameStop. They're also doing a $50 bar tab to the raffle! Woot!

    We ♥ them!

    Ok, ignore the hotel info above. They are a) renovating the Days Inn and b) the part that isn't under construction is booked solid.

    Sooooo...........

    Mr. Nixon, Michigan Team Leader, has discovered an even better option:

    Westin Michign Ave
    909 North Michigan Avenue
    Chicago, IL 60611
    312-943-7200

    Search Priceline for North River / North Chicago and find the Westin. It's a 4 star hotel and he got it for $100/night + tax.
