just one more item to add for the big weekend...there is a fleamarket every sunday at rosemont, minutes from the airport. starts at 7 a.m. til about 1 or 2 p.m. Those with earlier flights out and unable to attend the chef shangri-la event may want to check it out...I have almost always found some sort of tiki item there among other collectables. I also want to clarify something here as it has come to my attention that certain individuals involved in the organization of exotica believe that I am trying to steer people away to these other events...nothing could be further from the truth...my only intention is to make folks from out of town aware of these things so that they can enjoy some other things about chicago in addition to the event.....you're all traveling this far so you may as well get the most bang for your buck...I know if i was going to an event out of state, I would love to have as much info about all the things going on as I would be pissed if I found out later I missed something I would have enjoyed...so sorry if it feels like I'm stepping on someones flip-flops.....
