 Planes, Cars, Hotels for May 2nd & 3rd
« Thread Started on Jan 26, 2009, 8:15pm »

Other Information:

The economy is tough right now. So let's help each other out as much as possible.
  • Offer rides.
  • Form groups to split the cost of rental cars and hotel rooms.
  • Point out money-saving travel deals.
  • Recommend other things to do while in town.

When searching for hotels, if you're not paticularly choosey, you should consider a service such as Priceline.com, where you can pick select areas to search, and name your own price, leading to a significantly low price, or an improvment in hotel quality.

While sharing rides are encouraged, there is public transportation available:
Chicago Transit Authority
American Taxi
Metra Rail

Other events in town:
Thursday April 30
Chicago Cubs vs. Florida Marlins, Wrigley Field, 7:05 PM

Friday May 1
Chicago Cubs vs. Florida Marlins, Wrigley Field, 1:20 PM
AAW: Professional Wrestling Redefined, Eagle's Club, ~7:30 PM

Billy. Glad to see your coming again. With any luck someone not going to the show would like to do live results.

Dave has said the start time of both shows will be 2PM. Keep that in mind if your travel requires you to come into town Saturday morning.

AAW will be at the Eagle's Club on the Friday before, and there's a pretty good chance that some SHIMMER stars will be there to meet the fans, and to possible wrestle. Defintely keep that in mind when booking hotels.

Ashley & Nevaeh... no longer the tag team champions, but they'll always be the first tag team champions. No one can take that title away.

It is, but O'Hare is a much bigger airport, and in many cases, could be the only way to fly into town at the day and time a person wants.
