I don't think so, besides people sending me money.

Do you have Venmo or Paypal?

Were you willing to help front?

Yep, also thought having one or some other online payment option would help other people who planned on helping with the cost do so now if they can.

Put feelers out to several other places.

I wish this weren't so hard.

There's like no reason it has to be this hard.

Looks like we've got a place. Just waiting for the owner to get back to me re: my wanting explicit confirmation that the number of guests is ok and then I'll throw down the payment and we'll be good to go.

Looks like its going to be a lot cheaper than other places too!

I'll post deets here and on the OP once we get payment confirmation.

If it holds up I will be asking a 60$ suggested donation from anyone who will be attending. Once again, if you don't have that money then don't sweat it, pay what you can, even if that amount is 0.

If you can easily afford to, consider donating a little bit more to subsidize the people who are broke college students and can't afford to pay.

Depending on people's desire to eat out and budgets, there's tons of good food options in Chicago. Chicago is a really good food city.

Ok, we're booked. Reiterating everything in the last post. Here are some pictures to get you excited!

Also, if you're driving and you have an air mattress please consider bringing it!

there are 4 bedrooms, which are like this:

2 bath 2 half bath.

It's pretty far south so its going to be a bit of a trek to places north side, but I think thats worth it to have everyone in one spot.

That rocks.

This is still up in the air for me. If there's a particular date by which you need an answer, that would be useful information for me.

Of note; this location makes midway more attractive than Ohare somewhat.

Worth noting our check in time is noon on Friday and our checkout time is Monday at 11am. If you need accommodations earlier or later than that you need to let us know well in advance.
