An Evening at Adler with Drunkenbatman

MacWorld Boston is dead, but who cares? I was there this year and it was pretty lame (though I hear the conference tracks were solid). Drunkenbatman of the Drunkenblog will be having a Mac geek hoedown of his own at Chicago's Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum. Joining my favorite tipsy blogger will be a veritable who's who of developers including Bob Frank, Jason Harris, Paul Kafasis, Eric Peyton, Jonathan Rentzsch, Wil Shipley, and Brent Simmons.
If that isn't enough to convince you to go, I'll be there myself (though I won't be on the panel since I am just a lowly blogger, John Gruber I am not). Now all I have to do it get a plane ticket, find a hotel, and figure out how to do all of that on the cheap.

The Palmer Hilton is the closest, but there's a very good (and new-ish) hostel that's very close too. http://www.hichicago.org/

Just get a cheap hotel in the suburbs and take the el. That's what I'd do if I had to do it.
But I will be taking the el.

Is a "ho down" the same thing as a "hoedown?" Somehow I think they might be different... ;)
There are cheaper hotels out by O'Hare and then you can take the blue line into the city. Of course, that's a bigger PITA, but cheaper, at least. That's what we're doing.

I'm just a simple city boy, I don't know nothing about no hoedowns.. but thanks for the catch. I fixed it. :)
