Allow me to add, get lot's of sleep before the weekend, wear comfortable shoes, plan on talking to a lot of people and making a lot of new friends.

And that is what it's all about.

One thing I will add to both Bob & Dave's recommendations....don't wear good cloths on Thursday into the building - they will smell like exhaust when you leave.

That said, Thursday is often the most interesting day to be in the building!

We wouldn't miss it for the world. in fact we are now arriving Wednesday so we won't miss it. My wife insisted we stay the extra day, she don't want to miss it either

Not at all,but I wouldn't walk.Gene & Judes is directly south of the show & only 10 min away in River Grove Il.
Portillos is nearby too in Harwood Heights IL. off of Lawrence Ave. & about 15 min away.
