Any talk of a Chicago event coming up?
I know there was discussion of Kevin and BA's Jim Callis doing an event here in Chicago; Stu Shea and I pulled together a Chicago observation of SABR Day last year. As is, I'm still on the fence between going to NYC for this (Joe, you'll have an answer soon, I promise), but would strongly encourage folks to go, because of the great lineup, but also because Foley's is just a great place to hang out and talk baseball, with friends or with the folks you find there.
