There are also plenty of restaurants around the venue if people want to get their own food.
TBD
### 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.
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.
TBD
### ACTIVITIES
I'd like to do a field trip on the 12th...Some potential ideas:
The second day of MEAT EDITION is for field trips. Some suggestions:
