Is there anything else going on that week of note, or is it just the One Day (plus the pre thing) event?

[LEVLHED]

"just" the one day and "pre thing"...

If you are a VJ, you simply won't want to miss this event...having been at the first avit in Leeds I can tell you the rush of meeting all these like-minded people and being fully immersed in all things vidiot is completely intoxicating...

I propose that a bunch of us get together and go to Six Flags Great America on Sunday.

For those of you not from the Midwest, Great America is one of the best amusement parks in the Six Flags chain & featuring 12 world class coasters + tons of other rides.

It's about 1/2 hour north of Chicago on I-94, just south of the Wisconsin/Illinois border. Admission is $40, but discounted tickets are available from some grocery stores. They also have $10 off coupons on Coke cans. Speedway gas stations have a "buy one get one free" ticket coupon if you purchase at least 8 gallons.
The park is open until 9pm on Sunday, June 7th.

If you've never been there, check out these links for pictures and more info.
If you are a roller coaster fanatic like I am, you'll definitely want to go.
