I reviewed our PMs from the 2019 convention and I have to admit, I’m baffled by your comments in this thread. You took the Blue Line downtown on a magnificent summer day and took in the sights out city provides, and you thanked me for helping you navigate that trip. You need got give Illinoisans the benefit of the doubt. We’re trying and doing our best to make things better, back to the way they were. We deserve respect.

There are many things I am really looking forward to doing this summer; first and foremost getting out and seeing a handful of baseball games. Everyone will make their own decisions, but getting into a confined indoor space with a few thousand people looking over each others' shoulders ain't high on my list. But others obviously will make different calls based on their own views.

Because that's the country we now live in. So many people just looking for a reason to be offended.

I wish there was a '100 Likes' button to hit for that one.

I heard recently even If ONE person is offended, it has to be changed

I don't doubt from the news you follow that you heard exactly that.

Hell no I believe in the Steal, pizzagate, and whatever Friar Tucker tells me, like the true patriot that I am.

If you follow Pritzker's policies, you know how he's going to play it with resuming indoor events.

Prove you're vaccinated or you don't get in.

Default Move it

The organizers should move it to an open state like florida. If they don’t they shouldn’t be in charge anymore. Delaying the convention is not an option. Covid is here for the foreseeable future and will only cycle back up past august as the weather turns cooler again.

Have you ever moved a convention booked years in advance in 3 months? I don't think you'd be successful even in the best of times.

I’ve already had to make plans so the fact they can’t say yes or no at this point means I can’t go. So it is already costing some attendance. On the other hand - if it is a go- it’ll be jam packed regardless due to the excitement in the hobby.
