    I have strong opinions about folks behind the cheddar curtain ... especially ones that wear green and yellow...

    Thanks for setting this up Steve and looking forward to our future events!

    I'd like to go (first timer). If you have been there before, what hotel would you recommend? And, is it typical to stay over on the 26th?

    My friend Mark beat you to it: we have a tee time for 11:30, so I'll be on the golf course!

    This will be my first attendance in London as well. We (my wife and I) are staying at the Marriott that has a block of rooms set aside for the show. You can book it directly from the LCS web site! I think most people drive to OH on Thursday and leave for home on Sunday morning.

    Last item: last year we were supposed to meet up with a bunch of people at the I-294 oasis in Hinsdale, then drive to the state line where we'd meet more, and so on. I believe Craig (abdw-wcw) set it up last year - maybe he's doing that again?

    I just made reservations for the Cobra show. I'll be staying at the Marriott too.
    I plan on leaving Thursday morning-ish 24th and returning Sunday 27th.
