Anyone interested in telling me more about this event. I have never
attended before but very interested in doing so if I can learn more
about it. My name is Cami I live in Sacramento and I think this would
be a fun adventure. Have been out lots, pass well in public and not shy
in the least but I am lost when it comes to Chicago and this event and
lodging and transportation. Any way love to hear from someone. I have
a web site on yahoo at cami.farr and myspace and flickr so you can see
my pics and contract me at those places or email me or IM me at
cami.farr@yahoo.com. Thanks so much

Others can chime in if they wish, but I'll give you some general info. I hope you don't mind that I'm giving mostly links rather than saying again what's been posted.

First, some general info about the event. Surf here:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1985

Next hotels. The most important thing you need to do is to MAKE YOUR HOTEL RESERVATION AND LOCK IN YOUR HOTEL RATE! (Yes, I'm shouting. It's that important!) Our experience is that rates skyrocket and hotels sell out in the weeks just prior to the event. We're currently six weeks out, so please do not procrastinate on this!

A few notes on Pinkfest hotels appear here:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2098

Our schedule is not final, but it's taking shape. The last posted draft is on line here:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2114

We're shaking down an interactive schedule system, intended primarily for DLV, using this year's Pinkfest as a proof of concept. You can try this out here:

Pinkfest is much more informal than DLV. You "register" by announcing that you'll be attending right here. The only real formality is to respond to the various RSVPs that will come out shortly before the event.

Hope to see you next month.

Robin, Robin, Robin. So are you going?????? Did you know Pinkfest and
P Town occur at the same time?????? I can't see doing both. I would be
interested in flying back if your going,love to hang with you. We can
get reasonable flights of Jet Blue out of SF and rent a car and go to P
Town. Pink Fest is in Chicago and you would have to cut your week in p
Town to go. Do you really want to do that?????? Seems like a large
expense to leave one event that looks fantastic to go to another equally
great but still.

So without all the background info - what is your plan????? If I go I
am not thinking about P Town. It really does look awesome.
