Hi gang!
For those who just joined the list, welcome. We've picked up quite a few
new people on this list from DLV.
We've tentatively decided on Friday, October 18 thru Sunday, October 20
for Pinkfest 2002. If those dates are not gonna work for you, please
speak now or forever ... (Meaning if you will definitely NOT be able to
make it, but will DEFINITELY 100% be there if we change the dates, speak
up. :)
For those who are expecting another DLV, Pinkfest is quite different.
It's much smaller, shorter, more informal, and, of course, does not
happen in Las Vegas. :) It is, however, a LOT of fun!
Also, the mailings on this list are done manually (for now anyway) and
will come out strictly as needed. No, you won't be able to set your
watch by when they appear, as you almost can on the DLV list. :)
There's been a bit of talk on line (#transgender channel,
irc.pinkmyst.com) about hotels. For those who are wondering about this,
there are basically two choices, more expensive in town and cheaper out
in the burbs. Last year we had people opting for both. Consensus on line
has been that it's probably best to pay a bit more and get a hotel a bit
closer in.
I'm currently researching some places and rates. If anybody has any
specific suggestions of places in the downtown, River North, and
Lakeview areas of Chicago, please say so.
I've personally stayed at the Hyatt Regency on Wacker and the Holiday
Inn City Center at Ohio and Fairbanks. Both are very nice place$, but
they are a bit on the ex$pen$ive side. There'a a Red Roof Inn, actually
a remodeled older place at Ontario and St Clair, close to the one place
we ate last time, and I've seen a Days Inn up north a bit as well, tho
I've never stayed at either place.
Anyway, mark your calendar, and stay tuned for what's gonna be
happening.
*hugs*
