Hello Chicago!
After a 2 hour delay due to severe thunderstorms, I finally arrived in Chicago to slightly overcast skies and warm humid air. I'm checked into the Wyndham (room 151) and it turns out most of the caboosers went out to eat. I found Amy Hoy (eriberri on irc) and Blake and enjoyed a quiet dinner with them. I didn't realize the main conference doesn't actually start until Friday so I hope the "self-organizing" sessions are worthwhile tomorrow.
I haven't flown anywhere for quite awhile and I guess lighters are on the "banned" list of items for carry on (ironically, matches are ok????). So after my lighters got confiscated, I had to pay $6 for a pack of matches. The good news is, they came with a free pack of cigarettes.
More later as the conference progresses....
