| ### VENUE and LODGING | ### VENUE and LODGING | ||||||
| 
 | 
 | ||||||
| The venue is a converted warehouse loft located at: | TO BE DETERMINED | ||||||
| 
 | 
 | ||||||
| ``` | The total cost to book this venue was **$TBD**. If you want to chip in: | ||||||
| Loft 606 |  | ||||||
| 2605 W Armitage Ave,  |  | ||||||
| Chicago, IL 60647 |  | ||||||
| ``` |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| The venue has enough sleeping space to lodge everyone who expressed interest in coming in person, however some people will need to volunteer to sleep on couches. I have the venue reserved for: |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| - the evening of October 10th (feel free to arrive this day!) |  | ||||||
| - all day October 11th |  | ||||||
| - all day October 12th |  | ||||||
| - the morning of October 13th (feel free to leave this day!) |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| The total cost to book this venue was **$8,637**. I've paid for it out of pocket and would love if townies could help chip in for the cost. As of right now (`2024-10-08`) I have received **$3,919** of chip in and will update this as I get donations. If you want to chip in: |  | ||||||

| ### PARKING | ### PARKING | ||||||
| 
 | 
 | ||||||
| There are 3 parking spaces provided by the venue; two of these have been claimed. If you will need parking reach out to me (or mention in your RSVP) and we'll work something out. | TBD | ||||||
| 
 | 
 | ||||||
| ### FOOD | ### FOOD | ||||||
| 
 | 
 | ||||||
| I'll arrange food throughout the event. | TBD | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| - 10th  |  | ||||||
|   - **dinner**: local restaurant food for dinner |  | ||||||
| - 11th |  | ||||||
|   - breakfast: bulk order from Colectivo |  | ||||||

| There are also plenty of restaurants around the venue if people want to get their own food. |  | ||||||
| 
 | 
 | ||||||
| ### TRANSPORTATION | ### TRANSPORTATION | ||||||
| 
 | 
 | ||||||
| The venue is accessible from rail, bus, and cab/uber/lyft. I have a car and can make myself available to pick people up and get them to the venue once they have made it to Chicago if they need. Depending on timing I might not be able to help, however. Contact via my cell phone (`~vilmibm/phone.txt`) to ask about my availability for a ride during the event. | TBD | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| If you are driving parking might be tough in the area--I can offer a few spots by my place in Forest Park if you want to put a car there and then get a ride over to the venue. |  | ||||||
