Cons around Chicago, IL

Postby KagomeMinamino » Wed Jan 26, 2005 5:00 pm

I read the post about the one in Rosemont in may. That's cool cause my friend & i've always wanted 2 go 2 a con. But it's like an hour & a half away (so iz chicago where i live, but my parents don''t really know the area 2 get 2 Rpsemont.) (Just 1 more year & i could drive there myself. :? ) Well anyways, could sum1 tell me when they have more info. on the 1 in Rosemont, or if there ever has or will be 1 in Chicago. thx

They have some directions but if you live in Chicago you can take the Blue Line to Ohare and get off at the Rosemont stop. When you get out walk straight and turn left. Then when you get to the street head left again. You should see a big Rose on a building. The con is in that area. acen.org will have more details.

Be glad you're only 90 minutes away... I'm on the eastern side of Detroit (about 40 minutes away) and it's gonna take a few hours to get there...

I need to start saving for stuff... Damn it...

I think I might go to Rosemont too. I went there last year for a con called Wizard World. It was really cool. I have to start saving $ too.... :cry: Luckily I only live about 30 minutes away from Rosemont!! :D

Heh. You guys are all lucky. I'm 12 HOURS away. And I'm expecting to be going. Hell, it's two states away and I'm going (mostly cause it's the closest one to where I'm at).

They said now that the Pillows should be there this year. That's some really good news. It'll be worth the drive.

I am a couple hours out. So this is my home convention. I am going to love not having to travel 500+ miles to a convention for the first time this year.

SnhKnives and Pwolf are going, so they got you beat :P

This is my first con, so naturally I'm really excited. The only way I'm paying for stuff is with my $400 paycheck i'm getting the week before I leave. I also paid for hotel, so I'm going either way :P
