I am currently working on completing a NETCON 94 group proposal for
Chicago and want to ask people a few questions as to preferences:

NETCON 1994 will be held Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-30 (leaving Monday).

Background:  I have solicited group meeting bids from various Chicago
hotel properties and as you can imagine, they each offer some plusses
and some minuses.  The biggest difference is locations vs. price.
I would appreciate it if you could email me your response directly.
The answers will DEFINITELY make an impact on which property I choose,
so please send me your comments if you *THINK* you might attend NETCON 94.

For all those who are not familiar with your mailer, please choose
FORWARD instead of REPLY as replies will be re-sent to the list.

1.      Would you prefer a slightly higher cost to be closer to downtown
        and to the lake?  (more walking)  Alternative is near O'Hare
        airport with nearby access to the L (subway) line to downtown.
        (Benefits are being close to places like Hard Rock Cafe, Planet
         Hollywood, and also all the downtown museums and other HOT SPOTS).

2.      Is a pool and/or whirlpool desirable?  Or does it matter?

3.      Would you drive (or carpool), ride (Amtrak), or fly into Chicago?

4.      If flying in, would a shuttle cost vs. free shuttle influence you?
        (shuttle varies from $12-15 each way if downtown).

5.      If driving in, would a daily parking fee influence your attendace?
        (meaning, would it help you decide NOT to attend? Varies from $10-17)

6.      If you think that COST above all should be the driving force in
        our decisicion, please say so.  We want all to be able to attend.

7.      Please list any other factors that may influence your decision to
        attend NETCON 94 (besides the obvious of cost)


Thanks for your responses!
