Info: For our eighth show, we’ll be in the West suburbs of Chicago. The Westin is a new hotel, opening in August 2007. It’s located about 20 minutes SW of O’Hare Airport and about a half hour West of Midway Airport. Room rates are $99/night (to get the con rate, you must book by 5:00 p.m. on April 3, 2008!). Parking is free. The hotel is in the midst of a shopping and restaurant corridor – it’s adjacent to (within walking distance of) Yorktown Mall, next to the AMC Movie Theater and about a mile from Oak Brook Shopping Center. For those with families, it’s also only 7 miles from the Brookfield Zoo, one of the nation’s top zoos. And if you like to gamble, it’s 10 miles from the Aurora River Boat.
PLEASE MENTION YOU ARE ATTENDING WINDY CITY PULP AND PAPERBACK CONVENTION WHEN REGISTERING. THANK YOU.
