Hey everyone, I've updated the first post with more information about the event and accomodations, and a confirmed list. Everyone should read it, it will make you weep with joy and wonder.

Stay tuned for more information, and book your tickets now!

Also, we are making an open call for anyone who wishes to help out all of the event organizers with a sponsorship. We are looking for donations of any size to help us pay for the shred room, which has helped make this such a fantastic event in the previous years. Every little bit helps - PM Scott or me for details.

Just so I don't mislead: there's an 80+% chance I come, but I can't guarantee it until I buy tickets.

I'm confirmed even if I have to walk uphill both ways through twelve inches of snow.

Get me off the pansy tentative list.

How long are most people staying in Chicago? I have a tentative plan of staying until the 28th or 29th.

Awesome! Will, we really hope you can make it out.

Henry, I put you on the list. Brian & Mike I think I already had you on there.

Waylon, in past years a lot of people stayed through New Year's. Not sure specifically if anyone is doing that this year yet. Its a good question.

<----is comin to NYJ awwwwww yeeaahhhhhh :roll:
Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.
