Not to forget these Chicago area cons...
AND
To Be CONtinued http://www.2becontinued.com/
Schaumburg (Chicago), May 6-8, 2005

Bill,
Is that con still running? A friend of mine called me the other day and mentioned that the hotel didn't have the convention listed. I *think* it was 2BeContinued, but I could be mistaken....
Cassy
I've fired off an email to their contact addy; I'll let you know...
Cassy,
I just got the (quite elaborate) Playbill for To Be CONtinued: The Musical.
What my have confused your friend was that at last year's con they announced they were going to be in the same hotel for the following two years -- days of moving from South Bend to Merrillville to Chicago (Rosemont) were over. But if she called the hotel she was in last year she would have been told the con wasn't listed -- because it had moved to the Schaumburg Marriott. Have no idea of the reason for the change of plans, although I notice that Windycon will also not be returning to that hotel.
Dri,
I sent an email to the general contact addy saying I'd heard a rumor that 2BeContinued had been cancelled. I got this reply:
Absolutely false. In fact things could not be better. Consecration in Chicago gotcancelled, but not us. I hope we will see you at our convention. Thanks forwriting in. If there are any other questions we can help with I would love to help. If you have any idea of where you heard the rumor it would be greatly appreciatedso we could get the word out that it is not us that was cancelled.Cheers,Bob PalmerTBC ChairmanI take the statement that they wish the rumor quashed to be implicit permission to repost the email.
I expect that's what happened, since he specifically said he'd called THE HOTEL, not the convention chair or any of the convention staff.
I'll pass the word back to him. Sorry for any confusion (wait, that's a different convention.... <g>)
Dupa,
WindyCon used to be in the Woodfield Hyatt.
For many, many years through 2003. But unless my memory is seriously faulty, in 2004 it went to the same hotel on Mannheim Road that the 2004 To Be CONtinued was in.

Use to be called the Radisson now is the Windom or something like that.
Yes, that's the one. I didn't know it had changed its name to Wyndham. Looks like Windy will be back at the same hotel, just under a different name.
One of the things that confused me is that there's another Wyndham hotel just off I-290 that Capricon was at once or twice. That's where I went looking for the Brigadoon Room. (People who have never been to Capricon may ask for clarification. <g>)
Maybe we should call it the ConDome?
I think the Wyndham I was confusing it with looks more like a dome.
Thanks :-)
