Ok, since we're talking about rooming in meebo right now, we were looking at different places to rent in Chicago, and this place seems to be favored by Edith and I. There's parking, both bed and couch space, and the cost per night is pretty decent. Also, it's only 4 blocks away from public transit.

But since there are enough people to rent two places, Emilio also like this place, but it is 5 miles away from a train.

Sound like a good idea to you guys?

Liz:
Mili can stay in his mansion, I will stay with Edith in her rad choice.

KvP:
Ideally we'd want a place a lot closer to transit for the second place. I'd assume we'd have a lot of people heading out at the same time for transit at any given point, which means we're going to be moving relatively slowly anyway.

So we should probably get a handle on exactly how many people are going to attend before we put money down on a second place. At max capacity a rented house will cost us $50 a head per night. If we overestimate the turnout that number will go up.

There are a lot of factors to take into account. Are there natives who will be willing to put up some people? How many people?

Looking on the list on the first page, if all "definitely"s and all "probably"s show up we'll have 28 people on hand. With the "maybe"s that's 28-36. A third mansion could be in order.

This is probably going to be a total clusterfuck up until the point that it's not.

Liz:
I think we should be safe with two places since we'll probably be packing extras into each house. I can provide two air mattresses so people don't have to sleep directly on the floor also, and perhaps a few others would be able to do the same.

Barmymoo:
Considering that we're getting married during these four days, I'll go wherever Emilio goes.

Seriously though (what? seriously? I am being serious!) I would prefer to go for a cheaper, less awesome option than an awesome, only-$100-bucks-per-night option. I'm happy to sleep on the floor of a shack if necessary, I can sleep anywhere, but if we can get somewhere nice that has plenty of floor space and isn't too expensive then that's what I'd choose. Also there aren't going to be any cars, are there, so five miles seems a long way to carry luggage.

Also, I have never been on a real rollercoaster. I have spent three hours on this ride though, is this good preparation for Cedar Point?
