Lots of RSVPs coming in through comments and e-mail, so here’s an update. We have a few options. If you think you can make it next week (reminder: Wednesday night, 7:30pm 7:15pm) to the blogger dinner in Chicago, cast a vote for your preference for dinner. We’ll go with the group majority on this one.

Our choices:

Update: Ben Pao it is!

  • Ben Pao. Chinese. 6 blocks from TechShow hotel. Entrees are between $12 and $20.

  • Volare. Italian. 3 blocks from TechShow hotel. Entrees are between $12 and $20.

  • 437 Rush. Italian steakhouse. 3 blocks from TechShow hotel. Steaks are $25+, pasta is $15-$25.

Confirmed attending: me, AKMA, Buzz Bruggeman, Albert Delgado, Jim McGee, Fred Faulkner, Mike Fioritto, Ernie Svenson, Dennis Kennedy, Jeff Beard, Matt Homann, Jenny Levine, Tom Mighell, Shannon Clark, Barry Bayer, Erik Heels, Jack Vinson. I’ll update as others confirm.

    Impecunious vegetarian here, so my prospects are best at Ben Pao or Volare. But I don’t want to sway the wishes of the group (I still may be caught in a planning pinch), and I expect that 437 Rush has salads, so I can manage wherever. The get-together is the important element.

    Hey Rick, you left me off the list! I'll definitely be there. I too am flexible, so Ben Pao sounds great to me.

    Ben Pao sounds great. Do we meet at the round bar in the Sheraton or at the restaurant?
