LOL, that would look so funny, would you have to have a pic of your avatar on the card, so people would recognise you?
If you guys are from Chicago, do you know the Holiday Inn Hotel @ Merc Mart? I read such mixed reviews about it on the internet.
We should definately meet up, I plan on attending this year :)
Let's set something up.
Sorry gloios, never been to that one. tons of nice hotels around here though!

I think I am going either the weekend of 17-19th or 24-26th - Hotels are expensive there! Anyone going to be in town those weekends?
Any suggestions on places to go while there?
Went to Wicker Park area and Polish Museum last time. Actually found this cool building that was a High School for Polish Boys and is now condos.

Thats pretty far from the fest..
Your better off finding a room by O`hare its closer and cheaper
Sledz - Thanks for info but I think labor day will be too hectic of a weekend to go.
Its is the last weekend of summer but alot of people also leave the city for
places like Wisconsin to go camping etc...
I went to the fest last year it was a great time!!!
It would be worth it trip if you can make it
They even had a few Rock bands last year
In case anybody needs info on the fest:

How about T-shirts with the website address? I bet it would cause a sudden spike of activity on this website; plus tons of new members!
How about the free marketing Admin? :)

More members, more problems (with steady donation level being equal to zero ;). Admin
Dont you want the forum to grow?
I would never advertise without youre consent..admin
As we know you being based in Mt.Prospect there is a huge Polish community
that lives in the Chicago area.
More members more problems?
Without members what would you have?
Are we not good enough to spread the word here in Chicago?
Its going to be a good time and I cant wait to meet my friends that I`ve met here.

Yeah! Off to the mall to get a T-shirt.... or, use a permanent marker... :)
Krysia, being an artist, she can come up with some funky stuff on the T-shirt... This could be fun. We need some more people from the polish city of Chicago!

I remember it rained on the last night and they gave out free okocim raincoats
I havent heard from him latley but I have his number
I`ll give him a call soon
There has to be a few thousand ppl that attend each day
It was a really big crowd when I was there

I'll send some samples....O.o
Krysia, Sledz said that ADMIN may provide T-Shirts!!! Wouldn't it be great, a pack o people walking around, drinking, dancing and having polishforums.com address and some other info...on it? Maybe you can help ADMIN to design them? I wonder how many people would ask, what are we about, or just note the address and log on... Admin was somewhat "afraid' of "more" work. We could have variety of people signing on.. Fun, fun, fun. I'll be happy to donate the price of T-shirt, and then some.. :)
would be cool to meet all of you :)
