thanks for insight, especially on the "spending money". are you planning to go this year?
I think if I went and my wife does not know, I'd be dropping at least 10k there. If I am going to spend $2000 airfares plus another 1000 on hotel, I am not gonna be holding back!
I went in 2011, also in Chicago...Awesome city, awesome show, highly recommend going
What kind of budget for spending would you suggest?
