Hey Melonheads, new to the forums. Heading out to the show next Friday night (calling in 'sick'), and hopefully attending the vigil on Saturday. Looking for any Melonheads heading from Chicago or the Northwest Suburbs who'd like to possibly caravan together. I don't have a place to stay yet- I'm wingin it and looking forward to a great time! I'm also heading out alone- so if anyone wants to meet up mid-day, get tickets and a beer or three- let me know- rock on!

I have a question for you Chicago peeps:
Joel is flying into Midway at 12pm and Sam is flying into O'hare at 1. We are supposed to pick Joel up and meet up with Sam so that she can follow us to the dunes. How far of a drive is it from one airport to the other? Is traffic really bad during that time? Is it a straight shot from one place to the other or do we have to drive right through the city (and get lost)?
Just trying to make the best arrangements.
Thanks!

Is it a straight shot from one place to the other or do we have to drive right through the city (and get lost)? Just trying to make the best arrangements. Thanks! I looked it up on Google Maps because I wasn't 100% confident in my directions, since I've never actually driven from one airport to the other. The fastest way would be to take I-90 (from O'hare) to I-55. Google says it'll take 39 mins, or up to an hour if there's traffic. That way will take you into the city a little, but I don't think there will be too much traffic on a Wednesday afternoon. If you're not comfortable with driving in the city, you can also take I-294 to I-55 around the city, which might take a little longer, but you'll have less city traffic. Hope that helps. Here's the map: maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=o'hare+airport,+chicago&daddr=midway+airport,+chicago&hl=en&geocode=&mra=mr&mrcr=0&sll=41.919651,-87.451172&sspn=0.577335,1.123352&ie=UTF8&ll=41.881831,-87.718277&spn=0.28884,0.561676&z=11
