VCF-MW Lodging & SO/Munchkin Activities?

For VCF-MidWest 2.0, where's everybody staying, or is it "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'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? 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! Roger "Merch" Merchberger [1] This info is rather pointless if you don't know (at least) my starting point! ;-) Sault Ste.
