It is most likely the result of people who booked rooms way in advance in hopes of getting DLD tickets who ended up not getting them and are just now calling to cancel. The Hampton Inn has a waiting list and calls you up when a room becomes available, its how we got our room.

because they've been telling people for months that they were full/sold out and didn't sell any of the rooms (still not sure why, but whatever, i'm only a little pissy about it). so a bunch of us found other plans and now they have space left i guess!
Maybe try calling the Hampton Inn and see if there are any rooms left? Then cancel the room at the holiday Inn (even if there is a small cancelation fee it will be worth it)

The one where the first half of that list goes into stxSS07 's punch bowl cuvée, which is kept topped off throughout the day with the second half of that list.
I'll bring clear tubing and a funnel, we can all take turns bonging ladlefuls.

Thanks for reminding me about the punch bowl. Will add to my list of things to not forget.

I would just start calling places, I'm imagining that it's probably pretty difficult to find a room with a shuttle at this point but you never know!

Anybody want to meet up for beers in Chicago either Thursday or Friday? I'm flying in Thursday afternoon and plan on bar crawling straight through Friday night.

This is a bad plan. Srs.
Not really if you're staying in Chicago those nights. A lot of great bars doing things Friday.

No wonder you always leave DLD at like 2 p.m.

Tell me more about these bars doing great things Friday.
Getting in late-ish Friday evening, so probably won't be doing much though. Gotta get up early for that 7am Lansman shuttle
I left around 5:30 last year. 12 hours of drinking is enough for me.
I make it a point to be home by 9 DLD eve. I would venture to guess you drink later at the hotel than I do anywhere else. I also don't live in Chicago or I would probably hit a few bars instead of Flossmoor + random tasting.

Haha, I probably oversold it a bit. Don't plan on getting too banged up, but I don't really have anything on my agenda besides checking out beer bars/breweries
Any particular recommendations?

Remember, I came by the spot outside the gates you didn't leave all day and gave you a hug on the way out.
Trady was sitting in a parking lot by himself which was not at all weird.

If anyone has a lead on a bottle of Bully Guppy, please shoot me a message. Need it for a challenge to take place at DLD.

Yes. It involves me drinking a whole bottle of Bully Guppy.
