Actually Rosemont. Just wondering if anyone is going to the motorcycle show in Rosemont this weekend. Always crowded and overpriced but gets you around bikes in the dead of winter. In case you have the fever:

I wish but have a commitment to the Army this weekend! Love my job but sometimes this National Guard thing sure gets in the way of the fun stuff.

You're so right, I always seem to hit it right at max on Sat. But I will probably go about the same time so I guess I dont mind that much. Havent been in a couple of years.
