I’ll be there, also hoping to make up for WWDC by meeting some folks. I’m still in search of lodging, so I’m open to sharing if anyone else is too.

Looking forward to it!

Hi All,

I too am registered for C4, but I am driving up from Indy. Happens to be my kids’ fall break weekend, so the entire family is coming with me to (I assume) go shopping or visiting friends.

Anyway, I found rooms at the Comfort Suites O’Hare, located about a mile south on River Road, for $109 per night at priceline.com. Just FYI…

The Congress Plaza Hotel still had rooms for US$199 when I booked my room yesterday, despite their website showing much more expensive rooms. For those of you just only checking the hotel websites, it might be worth calling them too to see what they actually have.

Daniel: I’ll be there! Looking forward to meeting you.

The session descriptions (mostly) don’t get my blood going either, but I’m hoping for some serious hacking. I never went to MacHack, boohoo. My personal laptop is nigh-busted for development though.. the fan doesn’t work. I hope I can take care of that before the conference.

I’m glad to see Jon’s note about a possible crash space trick. Failing that, I’ll be adding myself to the ShareARoom page.

rentzsch: eagerly awaiting this trick :) but until then I think I will at least try to book some place near a station with all-night train access. Any suggestions? Rosemont?

Chicago Marathon?? Great…

I’m not seeing anything downtown for less than $300 or so a night.

Is it reasonable to stay at O’Hare and train into the city? Any other satellite towns outside of Chicago with good transportation into the city?

For the record on the dearth of inexpensive hotel space: I totally blame you guys for not warning me the Chicago Marathon swallows all reasonable hotel space. Just kidding.

I have one trick I’m going to try to play Monday that could help a great deal. Until then, there’s the CocoaDev ShareARoom page which I’ve updated for C4 and entered a sample item. Post there if you have a room you’d like to share.
