Nice job with the highlights that will be pretty easy to get to for those from out of town. One quick note, as I recall from prior convention events at McCormick Place: If you have time for a getaway at lunch, you are a very short cab ride (5 min. or less) to Chinatown where you'll find nearly infinite possibilities for great Chinese food. One of my faves is Moon Palace on Cermak, right next to the fire house and 3-4 doors west of Wentworth (with the Chinatown arch).

Don't tell them about Hot Doug's! It'll just make the lines even longer! Also, comics/graphics fans would do well to check out Quimby's on North Ave. in Wicker Park. Man, I love Chicago. SSSHHH!
