Hey Everyone,
Looking forward to seeing everyone....
Just letting everyone know that the restaurant in the hotel is no longer Alberto's. It's a burger place now.

We will be raffling off the original art from Jeff Abar that was used for the P17 Chicago Non-Sport Card Show promo.
100% of the funds will go to the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation.
Tickets are $1 each and 7 for $5, to make it affordable for everyone.
Original is 5x7.
Need not be present to win. Scifi Cards has offered to ship the card to the winner if they are not present.

xtimeDo we have a volunteer photo-taker for the show?
Someone willing to take and post photos here on Cardtalk and the blog.
There used to be several pics posted along with show reports.
Seems the last few years we have been lacking in that area.
Perhaps there is a volunteer willing to do a video and post it on Youtube?
A good way to promote Chicago and Philly.

Good question...
I don't know how much space the new restaurant has, but it can't be less than what we dealt with last show while they were remodeling.
I've got to each somewhere, and I hate to get out between show days, so I'm going to say anyone is welcome to join me at Burger Theory for dinner.
Nothing fancy, just good company and hopefully a good burger. I've heard no reviews on the new offering.

Jewel
Can always order from Grub Hub as well. Just a thought
