With as crazy as my February is going to be - now traveling all 4 weeks - the only day I'll actually be in Chicago for a weekday is Friday the 15th. Right now, that's the day I'll be shooting for. Anybody want to go early?

I'll bet they had a nice selection of horse-drawn carriages back then.

It turns out I might be going after all, and on the 15th. My boss wants to go and it's an excuse to get out of the office. I will keep you guys posted.

Default 5/3 Bank is giving out half-off coupons for the show...

...good for $6 off the $12 admission price on weekdays only, while supplies last at any of their branches.

I'll be there working on the 9th and the 18th all day, with Windy City Corvettes. I was also pleased to help arrange for Chris Sherman's beautiful '54 Corvette that should be on display at the show this year. See yinz there.
