    I don't think so, at least I don't remember any being at XV. But even if there is, BRING WATER. Have it handy, and drink a lot of it.

    I never saw it if there is. Bring your own water, that's my recommendation.

    I saw a couple people posting about getting a cab back to their hotel from DLD. I must admit that this is my first DLD so I'm not sure if things are different, but generally cabs are impossible to come by in Northwest Indiana. I live in Chicago now but grew up out there and rely on DDs when I'm home, because there just aren't any cabs available. There was one company that would do pick-ups, (210) 769-TAXI, but I'm not sure if they're even in business anymore.

    I guess my point it, don't rely on a cab because they're not readily available in the area.

    What has been peoples experience with getting a cab from Chicago to FFF? Will most cab drivers take you, or is it too far for them? Any idea on approximate cost?

    They'll probably take you but want meter and a half. I work in the city and live by FFF and had to take one back late one night after missing the train and that was what I had to do. You'll probably have to try a few to get someone to take you and help them get there if they don't have GPS

    I know nothing about cabs in this area, but the area code is 219 regardless. Don't call TX for a cab or it'll be a while.

    I'd prefer rain. It'll get rid of the non-serious.

    If it is anything like last year I'll be extremely happy. Just warm enough for no coat and cloudy enough for no sunburn.

    I definitely got some sunburn last year. I think the worst of it was around 2pm. But yeah, incredible weather last year, hopefully more of the same this year. Forecast looks promising.

    Hoping for drizzle/rain on and off, 50 - 60 degrees, very little wind. As in "sure, wait in line, but bring rain gear."

    Because this is what I want, I think it will be 80 and sunny.

    I think I got some sunburn last year, but to be honest the whole day is a bit hazy...
