It's in Rosemont, a blasted convention center dominated wasteland. Sadness. Add to all the bad scheduling the fact it’s NOT EVEN IN CHICAGO.

Yeah...genius scheduling...and that doesn't even get into their own poor planning of schedules in the show itself.

Wish I could have been there. I’m glad Alex posted that because the game wasn’t televised last night in our region for some reason. Wish I could have been there.

When the Red Sox were complaining about not WINNING a World Series since 1918, nobody mentioned that they had been to the series as recently as 1986. The Cubs (of which I am not a fan) have not been to the October classic since 1945, and won it last in 1908. (Something to be proud about... they own the longest drought of ANY major sporting league.) Sorry... I know comics and sports don't mix. If you want to READ a good Cubs story, I recommend Kinsella's Iowa Baseball Confederacy. Ya know, the Cubs can’t even complain properly about their losing streak.

The card I got from a Wizard ad rep at NYCC gave the 2009 Chicago dates as June 25-28. Very interesting on the August 7-9 dates.
