Who's going this year?

I missed a couple, but now that I have an awesome new job, I am back to it! So I think this is my third. It is always a blast. And I never know anyone when I arrive, but I end up with a few great friends by the time its over.

And.. I have made no travel plans and company doesn't cover that part. So if anyone doesn't mind a 40 y.o. roommate, let me know! I will either be driving or flying from Ohio.

Yay! I'm in. My job approved me to go. They waited too late for me to get a room at the Hyatt but I'm in so I'm not complaining. I will be attending the conference solo this year. So my goal is to try to meet at least 10 people.

I'm in. Had a blast in Boston and really looking forward to Chicago. Smit's pub crawl is definitely on my list. We get in EARLY Friday morning from Toronto, hopefully with enough time for a morning workshop and afternoon studio tour. Staying at the Hyatt.

I'm in...second timer.

I can't afford it this year, BUT I live in Chicago, so if anyone wants food/drink/fun recs, send me a message!

I'm in! This will be my 5th HOW conference!

This will be my third year! Is this forum outdated? Where is everyone staying?
