I'm not sure about the public. It would be nice to have an audience of a
sort, but then again there wouldn't be such a hassle if it was just us
GMLUGgers... Anyways, the Wheaton Public Library is probably not the right
place for an event like this; though spacious, the layout just doesn't
prove to be what we would be wanting. I really can't think of other public
locations, spare outside on Front Street in front of the tracks and the
storefronts...but that would be good in the spring or end of
summer. Definitely not now when the average temp is 50-60 and falling.

Yeah..that is true. But I was just throwing out a guesstimate on the cost
of the room - I'm sure I can pull strings cause I do pay a hefty tuition to
go to that school...and the headmaster is very interested in my hobby. But
anyways, I was offering it as a very nice suggestion of a place to
meet. Its spacious and comfortable, and it would provide a lot of
manipulatable (furniture wise) carpeted floorspace for train layouts.
Are people still interested in having a Chicago fest? Could people who are
let themselves be known along with any suggestions they have??
