bump this back up...

[04MatrixXR]

i am seriously looking into comin to this (thanks for bumpin it up), though i was wondering if anyone had any suggestion on a hotel. I want to be able to have direct access into chicago by public transportation (so i dont gotta part my 'trix in the city), I was lookin at the Red Roof Inn in Downer's Grove, do you think this has access into the city (preferribly to get to the metra station line), Or is there any other suggestion for a good cheap hotel. Thanks

[happyhooder]

you are on vacation right? b/c man, from new jersey that is a haul...

honestly, give your hotel a call and they should help out better than i can, i am in the north west subs of chicago and it's about a 30 minute drive for me to get there... and i'm only there about once a year...
it looks like you can take this line... http://metrarail.com...n/bn_sati.shtml

couple of questions:

any idea of any other people coming?
are we meeting up ahead of time somewhere?
do we have a specific spot or anything?

i'm most likely rolling in with my crew or with a local matrix owner that is about 20 minutes (with red lights) from me... so far i know total is 3...

no set spot as of yet... how close are you to the dealership?

hope you are here for more than just the weekend, the show is a good bulk of a day, and if the weather is warm to hot it's gonna take alot out of energy from everyone there...

nope just the weekend, we are leaving work early on friday, we will get there around 5pm. I know there is a lot to do and everything but both my roommate and i are here on co-ops and cant really afford to take too much time off. We got a hotel about 12 miles from the dealership (directly on the other side of O'Hare airport). Should be interesting ive never actually seen another modified matrix a neither has my buddy.......hopefully there are some good ones there. And ive also never been to Chicago or even to that part of the country. My buddy has a bunch of ideas for stuff we gonna do friday night and saturday, but do you have any suggestions bein a local and all.

Btw you ever come to philly gimme a call ill show exactly where to go.
