For VCF-MidWest 2.0, where's everybody staying, or

"catch-as-catch-can?" I've not yet registered (which I must do soon)
and I'd like to put up a display table...
I'd recommend either the Hilton Garden Inn or Econolodge (depending on
your preferences), they're both within a block of each other and within
3 blocks or so of campus. The details for either are on vintage.org
under the VCF/MW2 site.
Also, I still could use (quite a few) more exhibitors to sign up. And,
if anyone knows of a speaker who'd be interested in speaking at the
event, that'd be great.
I'll also have the wife & kiddies along -
we're making this into a
"family weekend" kinda thingy, as we're leaving Thursday
afternoon(ish). I'm guessing it's about an 8 or 9 hour drive, so
we're still planning out if we're driving the whole way in one go or
stopping for the night halfway down or so.[1]
So, what's available for non-geeks to do down at Purdue?
Well, there's corn, soybeans, and bars. :)
There's a calendar of some events going on here:

Other than that, I'm not sure how much help I can be, as I'm a geek. :)

I'd like to get the reservations pretty soon; as
earlier usually ==
cheaper. ;-)
BTW - I have a rather nice digital camera (Nikon D70) - so if anyone
wants some nice pictures of their booth, track me down, just in case
I don't get a chance to wander around & shoot everything anyway.
Thanks!

[1] This info is rather pointless if you don't know (at least) my
starting point! ;-) Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan - Take I-75 North
until everyone says "Eh?" ;-)
