Hello all,
I am posting to get a consensus as to how many of us plan to attend the Chicago convention June 12-14. So far, Sapel, ADM Van Wormer and myself - FCPT Kerry have rooms booked, but haven't purchased tickets as yet (at least I haven't).
Link - Chicago Star Trek Convention - June 2015
Below is an image of the remaining Silver and Copper seating, as of 04/29/15:
The Silver and Copper seats include access to all area of the event as well as the Tim Russ Concert on Saturday. The Silver tickets are $190 and include some autographs, the Copper are $150 - both include an assigned seat. General Admission is $80 for all 3 days gets access to all areas and a guaranteed unassigned seat - the Tim Russ concert is separate.
I am open to any of these, I would just like to sit with as much of a group of us as possible. And, post your seat row and number to see if we can group together.
JT
Known to be going, so far as of 05-06-15:
Kerry
Davis
Sapel and Wife
Van Wormer (possibly Wife)
CPT Ganoslal and Wife
VADM Kor

There were 19 of us that said you would go in a previous poll, but that info was lost with the change of command. There was also another group that acknowledged a desire for the Las Vegas convention, which that info is also gone. This is why I started this Forum and Poll for the Chicago convention. I can't make the Las Vegas con, so someone else can start a forum for it.
I am waiting to see who is going and at what level ticket. Myself, I'd rather get Gen. Adm. and go somewhere at night as a group. The are some nice Blues and Chicago Jazz clubs along and around the Michigan Ave. (the Magnificent Mile) here is another link for Chicago events .

I don't know if I have already let you guys know, but I may be mobilized to Fort Leonard Wood near that time frame. if things go as planned I will try to attend the Chicago event, but it is still too early for me to make plans for sure or not. as things develop I will let you know.

going, have plane and hotel arranged for me and Christina. probably getting con tickets tonight - copper is good enough for me - don't do autographs.
Have offered room space to too many but so far only one bite so I'm getting away with it! Guessing they have cots if I end up with too many warm bodies :)
cheers!

I have a room booked with 2 beds. My wife isn't going, so I have an open bed, and can do the extra fee for a 3rd guest. From what I understand the are tacking on a $20 or $30 fee for a additional adult guests per night. I am wanting to get a roommate or two to cut costs, if possible. I did offer the bed to Shack, but he may not make it. So, any takers are welcome.
I haven't bought tickets as yet. When we buy tickets, we should all post what level seats we bought and where they are on the chart (they have assigned row letters and seat numbers). Or, arrange a time to get on vent and buy at the same time for the Copper or Silver level to have groups of us sitting together. The General Admission ticket are first come first serve seating.

ADM Van Wormer,
Please post you Copper Ticket seat assignment. Hopefully there are still seats open near you. I took X-10 Copper.
Thanks,
JT

Booking hotel and flights now. I have the time off approved from work, and submitted my itinerary on a travel site, and I'm pending getting the flights locked in. I'll be traveling on 6/11, and will return 6/15, so I'll be there the whole time. Am staying at the hotel the convention is in. Now I need to get my convention tickets!

I cant make the trip (although I'd love to - there are many fine masonic lodges in and around Chicago also)
Shatner is worth the price if you want a pic with him - he is a funny guy.
if this is your first con, wear comfortable footwear and if you are just thinking about going but are torn and undecided - i would recomend it 100%.
have fun folks!
