Never too early to make plans for the National

[tbob]

Just booked my flight and hotel reservations (Hilton Rosemont across from the Convention Center and connected by the skywalk). I've stayed there twice during Nationals and I highly recommend the hotel. I know it's only March but the special rates they have on rooms tend to dry up and disappear early. Check the National web page and click on the Hotel specials.
The last I heard leon WAS planning on having the annual Net 54 Dinner (isn't that correct leon?) so that is a must-do, along with taking in the Cubs and meeting all the great people I have come to know from this Net 54 site.
On to ebay to check out Cubs tickets :-)
See yóu all there!

No flight yet but booked at the Aloft which is not far and has a shuttle. Look forward to seeing many again.

Hi Bob
I printed off the countersigned contract yesterday, for the Net54baseball Dinner. It will be at 6:30pm on Friday night (8/2/2013) as usual, at the Hyatt Regency O'hare, across the street from the Convention Center. Hope to see everyone (well, actually not really everyone...that would be over 3700 members ) there. More details in the coming months.....but the short answer is it will be close to the same as previous years.

Who are the Cubs playing on those days?

Brewers during the week, Dodgers on the weekend. The Cubbies should have a 10 game lead in their division by the time the National comes to town so tickets will be hard to get!

Thanks leon for all you do to make the National so much fun. The cards are secondary to the chance to meet new 54ers and renew old acquaintances. This is my one chance all year to actually see, face to face, all the great collectors I email or chat electronically with all year. It's nice to put a face with the IDs.

Just got tickets to the Dodgers, this will be my second MLB game. This trip just gets better and better.

And what better place to hoist a couple before/after the game for pre-war baseball collectors?
