Well, I managed to score some meida passes to the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. What does this mean? I am able to go on a day that is not open to the public

You bastard! I mean, you have any extra??

I do, but unless your name is Colleen, it won't do you any good, because it's non-transferable

I was all set up for getting press passes for the 2001 auto show, but the guy that was getting them got layed off, I was mad.

On another note...this will be the first auto show I have ever been to in my life!

From what i understand, it is usually pretty crowded. Glad I am going on a day not open to the public

I am thinking about going down there for the show this year. The Chicago show is better than the Milwaukee one. I saw that ticket prices were $8. Only problem is that I have no clue where I am going. I got the directions, and all is well if I can park in one of the two areas listed on the map. If not, I'll be screwed. I don't go to Chicago much and I don't want to get lost (especially on the south side).

Any advice on parking and navigating down there???!?!!!?!!

I'm actually not too familiar with the area I', just taking the train downtown and then hopping on a bus. So much easier

Got back a little bit ago The media day kicked ass. Got a bunch of press kits and cd-roms I'll be posting the pictures and videos I took as soon as my personal sites server is back up

[IntrepidXJ]
